Hello Friends
Over at the Four Seasons Challenge Blog, we are ready for a change in seasons!
This months theme is:
Anything Goes - Summer
check out this fabulous inspiration board we have created to help inspire you . . .
Today's card was inspired by the lemons in the blue bowl.
I began with this beautiful designer paper by Brutus Monroe called Sunflowersoiree. All I need to go along with this beautiful paper is a sentiment so I computer generated my own using a phrase we've all heard at some point in our lives! I actually thought I had a stamp with this sentiment in my 'Doni Collection' but I couldn't find it right off hand so created my own.
I started out typing the words in a Word Document then grabbed a 'lemon' clipart from within the Word software and VIOLA.
Of course when I went to print it out, my computer decided to NOT print the color yellow! Ugh! Turns out I hadn't cleaned the 'print heads' (nor did I know how lol) so HUBBY TO THE RESCUE!!
(It's so handy to have a smart husband lol ... that man can fix just about anything!)
Anyways, I used a Tutti Designs Stitched Scallop Square die set to die cut my sentiment then using the next larger die, I matted with the blue polka dot paper.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
As always . . .
Definitely a slice of Summertime, love those papers and a great quote oh so true.

So beautifully created! Love the sunflower paper and fun clipart to go with the sentiment you typed up. Also really loving the font you used!
ReplyDeleteA refreshing card for summer full of summertime goodness, as hot as it is right now it makes me want to go and have a lemonade right this minute.
ReplyDeleteI love anything to do with lemons! Maybe it's the yellow. At any rate, I'm just loving that paper and the image and the cute font of the sentiment. I haven't replaced my printer yet. I got fed up with always cleaning the printer heads, and first one cartridge would go out, then another. Then the scanner lid broke. Sheesh. I miss printing recipes, but otherwise it's okay.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the card! It just screams summer :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, love the paper with your image. I had to laugh I didn't know what to do the first time that happened to me too, so hubby had to show me what to do, i am lucky also that I have a hubby that knows a lot :)
