Good Morning everyone
I treated myself to this lovely oranges & Lemon stamp set from Studio light as i don't have anything like them in my stash and saw it in a sale. Nice to go with a fruity theme in the summer
A6 white cardblank. I stamped the orange image onto white card and die cut with Xstitch banner die which id decided to use on its side. I watercoloured with inktense pencils, adding a light wash of the blue just around the image and stamped the 'sunshine is the best medicine' sentiment in the bottom corner.
I stamped the image a 2nd time, coloured and cut out the oranges and flowers to decoupage onto the base image
I coloured up 2 smaller banner die cuts with the same colour inktense pencils i used for the image, so one with the oranges and one with the greens. As these are nesting banner dies they weren't long enough for what i wanted so i cut them in half and added behind my topper in descending size and added to the card front with foam tape.
Just a close up
version 2
approx 5x7" in size. I stamped & coloured the image and die cut into shape, I stamped the its summertime sentiment in black in the bottom right corner. I then multi-generation stamped 'its summertime' & 'fun in the sun' over the background with grey ink. Once again i stamped extra to decoupage the oranges, flowers & a couple of the leaves.
Made a cardblank from white card and dry embossed with a swirl embossing folder. I found the next size up die from my topper was too big on this occasion so drew around the inside of it onto white card and cut out with scissors, this i then coloured with the same inktense pencils i used on the image.
and onto the lemons
2nd stamp in the set.
card 6x4" I stamped the image onto white card and die cut into a Xstitch tag and watercoloured with inktense pencils, decoupaged the lemons and flowers and stamped the 'easy peasy lemon squeezy' sentiment from the set with grey ink over the background.
Matted onto green and yellow card and then a white base card, using my guillotine to cut the top corners to match the tag
and version 2
Made the same way just using a different tag shape. After matting onto yellow i punched a hole and added green, yellow and orange ribbons tied together with a little orange twine. I then mounted onto the shaped base card with 2mm foam tape
So far this summer we haven't had too much orange & lemon growing weather in Cornwall, hopefully we get an Indian summer and lovely September😀
