Hello, hello! I'm back for week 2 of my guest designer turn at Just Us Girls! This week is word week and the word is fruit! I must admit I wasn't even sure that I had anything in my stash that would work, but thankfully I remember a Simon Says Stamp stamp and die set that I have that features lemons. Let's have a look at what I made.
I stamped all the lemon images in the stamp set in VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne ink, applied clear embossing powder, heat set and then watercolored them with just two Tonic Studio Aqua Flow pens: yellow and dark green. The same was done for the butterfly. Once dry I die cut all the images. The stamp set happened to be part of a card kit that I had purchased and so I used some of the patterned paper from the kit. The paper is from Simple Stories, but unfortunately I don't know which paper line. I die cut the paper, arranged my lemons and then stamped the sentiment from the kit. The panel was added to a white cardstock base and then I attached the butterfly. I'm super happy with how this card turned out.
I hope to see you playing along with this week's challenge. All the information can be found on the
JUGs blog. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Great use of the lemons. I also like the colorful butterfly
Good thing you remembered that stamp set as it made such a great card! Really love the background paper and the butterfly--neither of which I would have thought to use with lemons. You're on a roll as the GD, that's for sure!

That patterned paper worked its charm behind your deliciously colored lemons, Rosemary.
