squeeze the day!

hello there!
today I have a card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!
I used the super fresh and fun, Lemon Twist stamp set!

it's been a while since I've used this set, and it was calling my name! also, I paper pieced the lemons - which I haven't done in a LONG time!! I used to paper piece everything, I feel like! but then I discovered coloring! lol!
I used various yellows and greens from patterned papers in my stash. and then I used Distress Inks in Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber and Mowed Lawn to add some shading to the images!
then I splattered some of the yellow color on the lemons for some more texture!

for the background, I did ink blending in Distress Oxide Inks Chipped Sapphire, Wilted Violet and Milled Lavendar. then I splattered some color and white acrylic ink on top!
I finished off the card by stamping the sentiments in Chipped Sapphire!

be sure to check it out on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, too!
enjoy!
