Hi Crafty friends! It is Natasha and I am super excited to be back with you today for our Thursday challenge! I am loving your Summer cards and seeing your beautiful inspiration on how you celebrate summer! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous and creative work! Be sure to share your summer themed cards with us over on over on the Unity {show & tell} facebook group!
One of my favorite summer things is flowers and when I saw the new set Fresh Lemonade, I fell in love! There is something about florals and lemons paired together… just so beautiful! So let’s get started!
I started by stamping several of the elements from the Fresh Lemonade stamp set onto Canson XL Bristol Smooth paper. I stamped the images using Versa Fine Clair ink in Nocturne and heat set them using clear embossing powder. I did prep the card stock prior to stamping with my embossing buddy. Once everything was ready to go, it was time to color! I used my zig markers for today’s card! I did 2 layers of color on each image and allowed them to dry each time before adding more color. Once everything was colored I trimmed the images with my scan and cut. You can also purchase the digital cut file for this set too! See the link below!
Next I started to work on my card background using the amazing Pink Lemonade Paper Pack! I fell in love with this paper right away! I have seen such gorgeous inspiration using paper from this collection! I chose several papers from this set to create the background! I die cut them and then adhered them to my A2 panel.
To complete the card I adhered the elements to my pattern paper card panel with both foam tape and liquid glue. I added some white dots to several of the stamped images for added interest. I adhered a few gems and my card is complete!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I truly appreciate it!
Let’s keep summer going a little longer, be sure to share your gorgeous summer cards with us over on the Unity {show & tell} facebook group!
