Sweet Lemonade

Oh, how I DO love new toys!!! Today I found a little time to play with one of the new Impression Obsession stamps AND one of the new Spellbinders dies that I got in the store last week. Life is good, indeed! :-)


The stamp is called Sweet Lemonade . I stamped it on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored with Tombow (water based) markers.

I cut and embossed the stamped image with the NEW Labels Four die from Spellbinders. I will show you how I cut and layered the yellow panel in just a moment.


I popped up the umbrella and the lemon and four leaves on the top. The berries are Soft Pink Rhinestones from Kaiser Craft. The designer paper is Basic Grey Urban Prairie . The cardstock is Frosted Pink Prismatics and Frosted Yellow Prismatics . I added a little rose sheer ribbon to the center panel, and Frosted Lace Stickles to the umbrella.

To make my yellow layer I used the same size Labels Four die as I used for my stamped image. It is the second from the largest in the package. I cut a yellow panel, then cut it down the middle lengthwise and adhered it to the main panel.

Next, I took my scissors and snipped off the top and bottom as shown in the photo above. Sorry these photos are so poor. I took them before daylight this morning!

Using scraps from my yellow cardsotck, I just cut and embossed small portions of the top and bottom of the panel, then adhered them as shown.

I hope that was clear. If not, please don't hesitate to ask. If you leave a question in the comment section please BE SURE that I have a way to respond to you. Okay?

So....we have two winners from Monday's post that didn't claim their prizes! And yesterday's winner hasn't yet claimed hers from the Guess What... post. But she still has a little more time.

As promised, I used the random.org thingy to select two more winners. They will have until Tuesday at 6pm CST to respond. Otherwise, we will draw again!
