Monochromatic Lemon Lime Twist – Card Sketch
Welcome to this week’s Monochromatic challenge with the Crafty Collaborations team. Some of you would probably know that when Lemon Lime Twist was an In-Color a few years back, I had an avid dislike of the colour and was so glad when it’s 2 year tenure came to an end! And here’s the twist (pun intended): it seems that the saying “absence makes the heart grow fonder” holds some truth! This time around I have a bit of a fondness for this colour.
Going through my stamp sets, working out what I wanted to use for this colour, I pulled out the Chantilly Lace set. I purchased this set solely for the lace image it had and I wanted to feature it on this card. As I wasn’t sure how I was going to use it, I took a 1/4 sheet of White Cardstock and stamped 2 of the lace images in Lemon Lime Twist ink. Then I splattered some dots with the Dark Black Stampin’ Blend.
My next idea was to use the Perennial Postage die to cut out some squares. After cutting 4 out, I opted for 3 with this fun sketch and layered them on White and then Black Cardstock for dimension.
I chose a line art floral image from the Fully Flowering Ephera pack, adding fussy cut and die cut leaves to create an arrangement around it.
I layered the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Saying Something Mix & Match Ephemera Pack onto Crumb Cake Cardstock. Having tried Basic Black as a matte layer, I felt the card, as a whole, was too stark and harsh for my style. By adding the Crumb Cake layer and some Linen Thread, it softened the look.
This is a really quick card to put together with the pre-designed pieces in our ephemera packs making it extra quick. Order the products to make this card in my Online Store or contact me to place your order.
Will you be trying out this sketch? I hope you enjoy your weekend and have some crafty time.
