Hi there crafty friends! Today is also the start of a brand new colour duo at the Color Hues Color Challenge! Teammate Julie Beech has chosen Lemon and Lime as the colors for challenge #106. I decided to go literal with my card. The hardest decision was deciding which Lemon and Lime stamp/die sets I was going to use.
So the winner was Concord & 9th Citrus Crush stamps and dies. I will tell you it took a bit of figuring because the images are a bit larger and all of them as so much fun! I die cut lemons and limes in the challenge colours using carstock scraps from Concord & 9th, MFT Stamps and Papertrey Ink. I inlaid the sections of each fruit, cut a shade lighter, into the dies that had sections. They looked absolutely delicious and makes me so excited for the warmer weather to arrive!
Some of the fruit are glued directly to a white panel I cut with Lawn Fawn's Outside In Stitched Rectangles. Some of the fruit were attached with foam tape. Next I stamped and die cut the sentiment and that was attached to the middle with foam tape in the centre and glue over the fruit that was already popped up.
I cut both sizes of flowers and some of the greenery. They were attached with a combination of glue and foam dots. Actually I cut a lot and put the cuts away with the set to make a few more cards in the future! Sometimes using a set for the first time, making lots of cuts helps you in planning your design and the extras make easy work of the next card!
As I was cleaning up I still had the Lawn Fawn Fruit Tiny Tags and Fruit Tiny Tags Sayings out, so I grabbed a couple more scraps and made a tiny birthday tag. If this card ends up part of a birthday gift, I have a cut tag to add to the package. The tag, sentiment and green sparkle cord is from Lawn Fawn. The little white flower is a leftover from my Concord & 9th cuttings.
If you haven't already visited the Color Hues Color Challenge Blog I hope you stop by and see what my fabulous teammates have created for the challenge.
Thank you so much for stopping in and I can't wait to see what you create with these fun colours!

Love the graphic quality of these die cut lemons and limes Tracey and the large bold sentiment is the perfect foil. :)
Tracey, I nearly went the lemon lime route - but never could I have made such a beautiful card as this one! I love the CAS design of that die set!
