It's so hot that I'm sweating even with the fan on....and I NEVER sweat! I decided that making a lemonade card might make me feel cooler. I recently purchased a Lawn Fawn lemon die set and I felt that it would pair nicely with Pink & Main's lemonade bottle stamp and die sets. It took several tries to align the stamps before die cutting out the bottle. In hindsight I should have used my Misti stamping tool. It would have made the procedure a snap. Anyway, after stamping and die cutting the straw, lemon slices and the sweet faced lemon, I was ready to assemble the card. I found a Doodlebug lemonade paper and die cut a Whimsy mini slimline shape. I adhered all the parts to the die cut rounded corner rectangle before attaching the whole piece to a rectangle card blank made from a sheet of Lawn Fawn pink striped card stock. (I rounded the corners with a cropper tool.) I am pleased with the overall look of the card but next time I think I might make the bottle into a shaker element with citrus fruit confetti. The message on the bottle is a little difficult to read so I'll type it here because it is a meaningful one: "There is no lemon so sour that you can't make something resembling lemonade." Pucker up and turn your lemons into lemonade....add lots of sugar please!
Your card is very refreshing and well coordinated with the design paper, images and sentiment.
