Framing Summer Citrus

Do you love lemons? In your tea, in water, in a pretty bowl on your table? I do!

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!

What I love: Summer Citrus and navy blue

Hello friends! 

The warm weather is here to stay in my neck of the woods. A favorite thirst quencher for summer is iced tea. I drink mine with LOTS of lemon! 

I love this set called Summer Citrus by WPlus9. It came out last year and was on my wish list until recently when they offered a great deal. Know what else I'm loving this week?  Apparently it's navy blue. I really like the fresh country look. 

From start to finish, making this card was fun! 

Inking and sponging, I used these colors from WPlus9 : Lime light, Beanstalk, Appletini, Last Leaf, Queen B, Wild Mango and Miami Spice. 

I cut the images with the matching dies and the sentiment from Basic Banners. I can't wait to use this cheery set again with the ideas I have for other cards. 

Thanks so much for your visit today. Hope it was sweet!
