When Life Gives You Lemons.....

MAKE SWEET LEMONADE!!!!! Hello everyone: This is my second post for today, I was supposed to post this one first but I had a bit of a mishap with my card. I left it by the vent under my work table for the Crystal Effects to dry and, when I came back later to check if it was dried, the card was face down on the carpet, needless to say, it was full of fuzz so, I had to start over. But anyway, I'm linking this card to the Just Add Ink Photo Inspiration Challenge. Here is my card.

I really loved this colors, pinks and greens plus, the picture really look inviting, refreshing and delicious. I stamped the image from the retired Flourishes set called "On the Porch",  onto a piece of Canson water color paper and cut it to a 2 1/8" square to fit it inside the die cut frame, cut with the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Square Dies. I colored the image with the aqua painter and SU markers in Certainly Celery, Pink Pirouette and Regal Rose. The sentiment is from the same set and it's stamped with Melon Mambo ink.

The embellishment on the bow is a retired SU Brads collection called "Jelly Bean Sweet Shop", so cute, I still have a few of this pretty brads.

The pattern paper is from Lili of the Valley, the ribbon is from my never ending stash. 

Here is a close up of this refreshing pitcher of lemonade.

Here is a picture of the finished inside.

The sentiment is from a Hero Arts stamp set called "Be Happy Today", I picked it because it rimes with the sentiment in the front. 

Here is the inspiration photo that inspired my card, see the pretty colors?

Thank you for stopping by, until next time, happy stamping.

Hugs from Maria.
