Stampin' Up! Sweet Citrus Big Squeeze Card

This week I’m using one of my favorite bundles – the Sweet Citrus Bundle.

I love it because: A) I LOVE all things lemons and B) It’s a trio bundle.
It comes with a stamp set, dies AND embossing folder!!

In fact, the embossing folder actually fits in the dies so you can die cut and emboss at the same time!

Sweet Citrus Card Design:

My card today was inspired by a beautiful card made by Maheswari Rajaguru.
I loved the layering and the colors – I would never have paired Evening Evergreen and Daffodil Delight.

My card starts off with Daffodil Delight cardstock, which I covered with a Daffodil Delight pattern from the Brights Designer Series Paper.

I then cut out an Evening Evergreen panel using the Stitched Rectangles Dies.

In the corner, I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder, and heat set it.

I think took a Wink of Stella pen and flicked the end against the cap to get a splatter effect on the panel, which I then matted on Basic White cardstock.

I then stamped the inside and peel of the lemons from the Sweet Citrus Stamp Set in Daffodil Delight ink. I used a Dauber and Crushed Curry ink to give some darker spots.

I stamped the leaves in Granny Apple Green ink.
I cut them both out with the Sweet Citrus Dies.
