I bought the Summer Citrus set when it first came out last year. I googled lemon illustrations and although I found amazing ideas, I never got around to using them. You could say the card with this set and color combo has been steeping on the back burner of my mind for a year.
Turns out I really like how it turned out. I call it SWEET when that happens!
I've been focusing on appreciating and using what I have. The result? I've never had more fun creating projects.
Achieving the right mix of Hero Arts inks was important for the lemons to look real and bright enough. I stamped each image repeatedly to add more color and detail.
I took a second photo in better light today so you can see the tone on tone background stamped on the Night of Navy card stock. Thanks for your visit!

I love me some lemons! Maybe it's the yellow. I can only think of one stamp set with lemons in my collection, tsk tsk, but it's a beauty. What a fun and pretty card this is! Love your arrangement on the frame and the tone on tone background. The blue really sets off those citrus colors. So pretty, Cindy!
