Lemon Squeeze - Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus

   I'm so happy that the Sweet Citrus suite of products are carrying over as I feel like I didn't used them nearly as much as I wanted to.  Some mini catalogs I end up losing almost everything to retirement but this time around almost everything I purchased is carrying over to the new annual catalog so I'm looking forward to continuing to create with them.

  I designed this card for my last quick & easy card class and I love the color combo with the greens and yellows.  If you're an eagle-eye can you spot the soon to be released new color??  The centers of the lemons are stamped with the new Lemon Lolly color.  Fitting that I used it on this card right?  It's a beautiful light yellow.

  The card base is Soft Sea Foam and then on the lefthand side is a piece of long retired Sale-a-Bration DSP called Peaceful Prints which is actually a Christmas paper pack but the Garden Green print works perfectly!

  The lemon rinds are stamped in Daffodil Delight then filled in with the Lemon Lolly and fussy cut.  I have the dies and embossing folder but since it's a quick and easy class that I hold away from home I keep the extra steps and tools to a minimum.  After the lemons are cut out stamp the leaf right onto the card base using the loose lemons to decide on placement.  

  We added a strip of Soft Sea Foam seam binding ribbon and then adhered the lemons with the slice being popped on dimensionals.  The sentiment is stamped at the top in Garden Green ink and then a few milky dots are sprinkled around the lemons.
