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

Yes, more citrus!! I love a good lemon card and yours is fantastic. The splish splash ef in the background is a burst of perfection for these juicy lemons. So sweet!!
Beautiful card Leslie. I LOVE those lemons... Have a great day
Juicy lemon drops it is! A fabulous card, Leslie! You know I love all that yellow. The sentiment die goes well with the bold images. Can't wait to see the next citrus card! You're on a roll and I'm loving it!
I'm thrilled to see you back, Leslie! And your lovely, fresh and juicy card is fabulous!! I love this set - you and Vicki have tempted me to add it to my collection, but I just got that Spellbinders set so I must say no! That decision only makes me love seeing it here even more!
I have a trio of lemons to make a pie to bring to Marcia's next week - wish you could join us!

Your zesty lemons look FABULOUS Leslie and your Splish Splash background is fabulous too! (I just used that same ef for the first time a couple weeks ago with my giant crabs!) Loving all your ink blending on the lemons and leaves too. Sweet, sweet card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
You have showcased those colours perfectly with this card. Just perfect xx
I'm loving your card! The lemons are just wonderful and it makes for such a happy card my friend!
Leslie, I love this fresh card. Keep em coming. Your inking adds lovely texture and depth to the lemons.
Lovely lemon card with that cute sentiment. Love the texture and details on your card.
This is fresh and fabulous, Leslie! Those lemons with their little dimples are marvelous and they look just dandy on that embossed background!
You are right on--lemons are the perfect choice for the Yellow and Green challenge! The pale yellow embossing folder is a wonderful background, and you've got the perfect sentiment! Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!
The embossed background reminds me of what happened when I shook a bottle of lemonade this morning! Talk about lemon drops! Seriously, your lemons look so realistic and I'm loving all that yellow with just enough green! Love those sweet blossoms. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Color Hues!
Lemon yellow, a favorite color of mine, and of course love anything citrus or lemon!! Another beautiful masterpiece, makes me want to get my lemon dies out and have a play with them!!
Such a fab citrussy design, perfect for the summer. Love all the different greens you got into those leaves, TFS at Color Hues. :)
I knew you would have more citrus cards! The lemons make the background standout so pretty. We wanted to get a lemon tree this summer but time got away from us. We do have 9 figs on our tree which we got last year so we are hopefully watching them grow!
So pretty with a great summer feel to it, I love your shading on it too. You are right that folder can be used for many things and it does give you a sense of a splash of lemon!
Congratulations on being a winner, Leslie!
