Sweet Citrus Thanks A Bunch Card

What comes to mind when you think of pink, yellow and green? I immediately thought of citrus. I made this fun Thank You Card using the Sweet Citrus products for this week’s color combo.

 
 

The color combo is from my Inspiration Calendar - Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green. I stamped off the Melon Mambo to get the lighter shade for the grapefruit.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Granny Apple Green Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Basic White - 5 1/4 x 4, cut using the Scalloped Contour Dies.

  • Stamp the flower grouping with Melon Mambo Ink at the top and bottom corners.

  • Stamp the sentiment with Granny Apple Green Ink on the bottom corner.

  • Stamp the citrus rinds with Daffodil Delight Ink on Basic White.

  • Add Melon Mambo Ink to the grapefruit fruit and stamp on scrap to get a lighter shade, then stamp on the coordinating rinds.

  • Clean your stamp and ink up just the lemon slice with Daffodil Delight Ink, stamping off first on a scrap and then stamping on the coordinating rind.

  • Cut and emboss the fruit using the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put the die and the stamped image right in the folder lining them up and then run it through your die cutting machine using the 3D Specialty Plate.

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

  • Arrange the fruit and leaves on the white layer and adhere with Liquid Glue and Dimensionals.

  • Adhere layer to card base.

  • Add some Melon Mambo Glossy Dots to the flower centers.

 
 

On the inside layer (5 1/4 x 4) stamp two sets of flowers and flower centers with Melon Mambo Ink.
