Started this over the weekend for the CC378 hosted by my friend Julia (artystamper). The colors are: Daffodil Delight
Certainly Celery
Pool Party
As much as I love dessert, I did not get out my twine & use it in an unusual way.
I recently bought this lemonade themed set and when I saw yellow as one of the colors I pulled it out. Then I went through my stack of untried sketches and chose Mojo238 from April. I stamped the image once on vellum and again on daffodil, then cut out the daf pieces and glued them under the vellum for the drink & on top for the slice. This will go to my FIL.
I cut the scallop circle with my Cricut and Mini Monograms cartridge set at 2 3/4" Read Dial size.

This card really caught my eye!! Those colors are fantastic and I LOVE the lemonade theme. My kids made freshly squeezed lemonade for my hubby today for Father's Day, and it was soooooooooooo good! Great use of vellum on this card!

Great card! I like how you used the color block background. The use of velum is fabulous. The pitcher and glass are great, but the lemon slice really makes it! Gotta love the tag, too. Very nicely done. TFS
