Sketch Saturday - Sweet Citrus

I made this bright and cheery thank you card for this week’s sketch challenge using the Sweet Citrus Bundle from the upcoming Mini Catalog.

I used this sketch from the weekly Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

You can make lemons, oranges, limes and grapefruits with this set by just changing the ink colors. There’s a coordinating Embossing Folder and Dies that work so well together.

Tips & Instructions

• Thick Basic White Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

• Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper layer (Sale-a-bration product) - 5 1/4 x 4, adhere to card base.

• Basic White layer - 4 x 2 1/2, stamp sentiment in bottom corner with Granny Apple Green Ink and adhere to card.

• Granny Apple Green strip 4 x 1 1/4, emboss using the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder and adhere to card over the white layer.

• Stamp the citrus images with Daffodil Delight Ink. Cut and emboss using the coordinating dies and embossing folder. I ran them through one time putting the dies and the stamped images in the embossing folder.

• Arrange the fruit and adhere to card using Dimensionals.

• Stamp 2 sets of leaves with Granny Apple Green Ink and cut with coordinating dies. Adhere behind the fruit.

Here’s a closeup of the lemons. I love that they are embossed.

On the inside layer stamp two sets of flowers with Daffodil Delight Ink and stamp the centers with Polished Pink Ink.

The new Sweet Citrus, Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper and Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder will be available for purchase starting January 5, 2023.
