Mediterranean Lemons

I'm back, again, from an awesome family trip to Alaska! And, wanting to play with my new toys!

The first bundle on my list from the new catalog was this suite of products called Mediterranean Blooms! I love rich colors of the fruit, combined with Navy of this card! Sadly, the dies did not cut out this image from the DSP, but there are, actually, some that do! This "frame" is just gorgeous, and has many options for cutting it out! (Like 3!!)  I created this card for my Senior Center ladies, and will definitely use it, again!


Measurements:  

  • Night of Navy: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
  • Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 1/4 sheet (frame), scrap
  • Daffodil Delight: scrap
  • Mediterranean Blooms DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4", 1/2" x 4" (navy print), fussy cut one lemon sprig
To Make This Card:

  • Adhere the Navy Print DSP to the folded Night of Navy card.
  • Attach white inside layer. Add strip of Navy DSP for a pop of color. You could also add a couple fussy cut blossoms from the DSP inside as well.
  • Now for the front. Take the "leafy frame" and the "outside" border dies, put them together and die cut the front frame from the 1/4 of Basic White.  Attach to card front with Green Glue.
  • Fussy cut a single lemon image from the DSP. (It really doesn't take that long. I cut the 4 for my class at the Senior Center for them!) Attach to card with Dimensionals. 
  • Stamp sentiment in Navy on scrap of White. Die cut with smallest tag die from the Wonderful Thoughts dies.
  • Die cut another "tag" from Daffodil Delight. Cut it 2 diagonally, and layer behind stamped tag. (Look at the picture above) Attach the card where desired.
  • Finish with new, yellow Opal Rounds in the flowers, and a couple blue Opal Rounds on the tag.
