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!)

Gotta go see if I have any overripe bananas...

ReplyDeleteHi 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.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Joel
