It’s the Weekend Ladies ~ I played with a much neglected suite to create my Eastern Lemon Lime Twist card today.
Yesterday I only had one workshop. When it was over I had to make my video for tomorrow. After I had my video recorded (and yes I did a test to make sure my microphone worked) I had to upload it and edit it. When I went to edit it the sound was really faint. I turned the sound up as far as it would go. I think the sound will work but I am still trying to figure it out. This is so frustrating that I am ready to give up. I will keep trying and see what happens.
When I was working on cards, I decided to check out my stamp sets and see what I haven’t played with in a while. I ran across Eastern Beauty and realized I could not remember the last time I put ink to it. That was my choice for my card today. I went looking for some inspiration for a layout and found a fun sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches
I began with selecting the patterned paper I was going to use, the Lemon Lime Twist with diamonds was perfect. From there I opted to see if I could use some of my vinyl stickers that go with this suite. I saw the flower sticker so I knew I wanted to use it. Now to choose my colors. I knew that Dapper Denim goes with the suite and looks nice with Lemon Lime Twist so that was one of my choices. I stamped the images onto the Very Vanilla piece but it needed something else. I decided to use the swirl and chose Fresh Fig as the other color to pull in. After I had my panel stamped, I mounted it onto a piece of Dapper Denim. I then used some of the retired Dapper Denim ribbon and added it across the lower half of the dsp. The dsp was then added to a Very Vanilla card base. Using dimesionals, I added the stamped panel to the lower left hand corner of my card. The matching framelits were used to cut out a Dapper Denim flower and the vinyl sticker was added. The flower was attached to the upper right hand corner with dimensionals. My card was complete. Here is my creation.
