The Inspired By Challenge IB174 (Here) this week is Orange You Lemonade! I love citrus fruits and got out my Concord and 9th Orange You Sweet Stamp set to make a card. (I just realized the similar names of the challenge and my stamp set!) I like the two-step stamps in this set. It sort of adds a watercolor look to the fruit.
I masked off the middle of the card and stamped the solid background fruits with Distress Oxide inks, then the detail stamps in black. I did use two orange ink pads on some of the oranges to add shading. After removing the masks, all that was left was to put a sentiment in the middle, add some little dots, and draw a nice line with a black Pigma Micron pen. I added clear sequins and glossy accents to some of the seeds to add shine!There are lots of cool ideas over there. Go see what people are sharing!
See you soon,
-Carol
