Lemonade dreams

Posted by on Jul 21, 2017 in Coffee Cafe', Dare to Dream, ink as watercolor, Lemon Zest, Tie Dye | 10 comments

When it is a 100 degrees outside and 99% humidity my thoughts turn to refreshing dreams of lemonade.  Alabama this time of year can be brutally hot! And our humidity just makes it sticky to even walk out side. Now, I am a professed heat loving girl! But, when it get so hot with the humidity really high I just want to be at a beach with my feet in the water…or maybe on a lazing creek canoeing…or even on a float in the pool! Key is being as still as possible near water to cool off and a big glass of Lemonade!! There is just something so refreshing about  fresh lemons during a heat wave!!!  Thinking about this lead to a card that combines three Amazing stamp sets.  Lemon Zest, Coffee Cafe’, and Dare to Dream

  • Colors used are Lemon Lime Twist and Crushed Curry with a little Daffodil Delight and Old Olive
  • I’m completely obsessed with square cards right now.  This square is 5 1/2 by 5 1/2.  The tie dye panel is 4 by 4.
  • The cup is stamped in Old Olive and watercolor with Crushed Curry.
  • The Lemons and Limes are stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and Crushed Curry.  The punched out with coordinating circle punches
  • The Daffodil Delight is brought in on the Tie Dye panel.  This panel was created using a coffee filter, Lemon Lime Twist ink and Daffodil Delight ink, and baby wipes.  Just use the baby wipe to add ink to the coffee filter.  Such fun

Climbing Orchids…

Climbing Orchids…

Orchids are one of the most beautiful flowers on this earth! They are so unique in the way the grow and produce flowers. And the blooms are so much worth the wait! But, if you are not the green thumb type (lets all check our thumbs) or simply not patient enough to wait on the blooms to come around.  Stampin’ Up! has a beautiful stamp set that is so fun to use. And is amazingly real looking…

Climbing Orchid Bundle

This wonderful stamp set and dies  has everything you need to make two different types of orchids.  Just add your favorite color and you are set!  Let me just say this fount is to die for gorgeous!!! I’m completely in love with the Enjoy Today!!

 


This sample from Stampin’ Up! is amazing!!!

Can you believe that is paper… It look so real!!

  • The background is faux marbling! This is such a fun technique using shaving cream and ink. I used a single color Pear Pizzazz for the marbling
  • Each orchid bloom is stamped in Powder Pink.  The tiny centers of the large blooms are stamped with  So Saffron and then Flirty Flamingo on top.
  • The smaller bloom center is stamped in So Saffron with the tiny dots in Flirty Flamingo. Then die cut with the companion die.
  • The sentiment is stamped with versamark ink then heat embossed with silver embossing powder.
  • The leaves are stamped with Pear Pizzazz.  The stem is stamped in Soft Suede
