Lemon Branch

Hi there!  Yes, I am back so soon with another citrus card.  This one was inspired by the Color Hues Challenge where Bonnie is asking for yellow and green.  Not only do I love the color combo, but you know I have this new citrus set...



We have lemons today with a combo of sentiments from my stash and the Spellbinders Splish Splash embossing folder.  It's not even real apparent that the embossing is water splashes, and that's what I love about the folder now that I've finally used it for the first time after waiting far too long, sheesh.  I actually wanted it to look more like juicy lemon drops this time, but there's too much yellow and I didn't want to start over.  The thing is, I love how pretty and fun and versatile the folder is and I'll make a point of using it more often in the future.

Pictured below you can see glitter on the flower centers and glossy dots for accent.  The dots are 1/4" and 1/8" punched cardstock coated with Diamond Glaze.



I'll list supplies further down, but first to recap the aforementioned challenge and add one more:

Color Hues Challenge #114 -- Yellow and green.
NBUS Challenge #76 -- My never before used schtuff is the Splish Splash embossing folder.


 



Well, that was fun!  There's another citrus card still to come, but I'll save that for another week.  See you again soon!
