I just ADORE this lemon stamp from Lockhart Stamp Company! I purchased it from Ellen Hutson's store here (by the way, Ellen is having a Spring Fling Celebration until May 3rd with a 15% sale!) I thought it was perfect for Sharon Johnson's (notimetostamp) Friday challenge: Let the Sun Shine! I also created it for today's Limited Supply challenge over at Splitcoaststampers: use a border in your design--bonus points for using flowers as it is May Day! Well, I didn't get extra points today, but I'm pleased with my lemony result.
I used Basic Grey's Vagabond dp, as well as Stampin' Up's retired Buckaroo Blue to create my base. Stampin' Up's Good Morning Sunshine added the sunny POP! SU's corner and Notebook Edge (retired) punches added some interest to the layers.
A fun addition is my new Spellbinder's Octagon Nesties-- they frame out my image today, which was die cut with Spellbinder's Long Rectangles. I stamped my Lockhart Lemons with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and colored them with numerous Copic markers.

I created my border with JustRite's Trompe Script Lowercase that I purchased from Joan's Garden. It's stamped with Versafine Black Onyx ink (my favorite for sentiments--so CRISP!)

happy birthday to your son! my fave thing to bake is banana bread with walnuts (and sometimes a few choco chips!)
Happy birthday and congrats grad! Love the card, too. Anything with lemons can't be bad. I love baking my almond tea bread. I only do it once a year because it's soooooo bad for you but it's fun to make and soooooo good. Ooh, just thought of my awesome banana bread, too. Mmmmmm...toasted with lots of butter. Gotta go see if I have any overripe bananas...
Hmmm, my favorite thing to bake... as long as the receiver of my baked goodies enjoys it, it's my fave at that moment.
I love making cookies & brownies and sharing them with the staff at the office. They get a big smile on their face when they see me come in with a basket!They know I've been baking and can't wait to try the new surpirse!
Hi! This is my first visit and its a nice one :) My favorite thing to bake are soft sugar cookies in any shape I can find a cookie cutter in!
Love your bright cheery "lemon" card! I love to bake bars of any kind. They pack in lunches nicely. Thanks for the chance to win!
Hi Deb - I LOVE your lemon card - the colors are so rich and vibrant - it is superb! As I get older, I enjoy baking a lot more - maybe it's because my kid's aren't little any more and the baking in the tins doesn't disappear the same day I make it lol! My very favorite baking is the selection of truffles I make at Christmas time to give to friends and neighbors - it's the same each year, but as it's become a real tradition no-one minds.
Happy birthday to Joel
Hugs, Anne. dinkuminkum at yahoo dot co dot nz.
