For my project today, I am showcasing the Lemon Twist stamp set and coordinating dies.  I simply LOVE this stamp set!  Don’t forget that all the products are now available for purchase at the shop.

 

 

To begin, I used my powder bag to take away some static and prep some Bristol smooth white card stock for heat-embossing.  I stamped the images with Versamark ink and sprinkled white embossing powder.  I heat-set this with my Wagner heating tool.

 

I colored the images in using different shades of yellow and green Tombow Dual Brush markers.  I die-cut the images with the coordinating dies.

 

I ink-blended another piece of some smooth white card stock with my distress oxide inks and mini ink blending tool.  I used my distress sprayer and sprayed some water on the colored background and dabbed it with paper towel.  I adhered this piece on the inside of a top-folding A2 size card.  I then cut about 3/4 of the front flap and added a piece of white card stock that I die-cut with a border die.  I die-cut another piece for the bottom portion of my card.  I lined them up to form as the cover and adhered the lemons to hold both pieces together.  This technique is called “split card design” and I learned it by watching Jennifer McGuire’s tutorial on YouTube.  [Side note: Thank you Jennifer for showing us this technique].   Here’s what it looks like:

 

 

To finish my design, I stamped the sentiment “hello sunshine” with my Picked Raspberry distress oxide ink.  I also used my white gel pen and added dots to the lemons to add more texture.  Here’s a closer look:

 

 

I hope you like my card today.  The supplies I used are listed and linked below.
