Cardabilities - Sketch #26
Paper Makeup Stamps is sponsoring this week's sketch challenge at Cardabilities. One lucky participant will win a $15 gift certificate! Be sure to check out some more samples from the Makeup Artists on the PMS blog.
The half circles on this sketch reminded me of the citrus stamp from Freckled Lemonade. I used some yummy papers from from the Sparkle and Ruche collections at Paper Temptress for a very sparkly card. I embossed some extra shimmery lemons with Versamark Dazzle Frost ink and clear powder on Sparkle Mangue cardstock. The red paper is Sparkle Vermillion cardstock and the glass of lemonade was actually stamped on Sparkle Blanc for a shimmery effect there too. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, I think you can see all the sparkle a bit better.
White Crepe Ruche cardstock gives my background such great texture and it absorbed the ink perfectly for my sentiment without bleeding or omitting any of it. Love it! {grin}

Here are details and close-ups of my cards. 
I love this citrus stamp because it can be a lemon, a lime, an orange, a tangerine - all depending on how you ink it up. Now it's really more yellow like a lemon on my card here, but for some reason the camera makes it look kind of orange. Oh well. I used Versamark Dazzle Frost ink on So Saffron cardstock and embossed with clear powder. I {heart} how sparkly these lemon wedges turned out that way. 
On this card I colored the fruit with my copic markers three times and cut pieces out to layer them on top of each other for dimension. I loved the cards that Lisa K. and Lisa M. both made like that before. I also covered them with my clear spica glitter pen to make the fruit sparkle. 
Again, I colored this image with my copic markers and added spica sparkle to the fruit. {grin}
For the pitcher, I decided to try paper piecing it. I used this More Mustard paper from a Prints Pack b/c I liked the look of the swirls. And I tried coloring the fruit with ink pads and a blender pen, but I like the look of the copics on the other cards better, I think. I still covered the fruit with some spica sparkle though, haha.
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
