Citrus Pucker Up

Hello and happy Wednesday my friend!  I have a few things to share with you today, which include a card and a little giveaway.  First, have you voted for your fav Gallery Idol entry yet?  You can do so here.  Thank you for the bottom of my heart if you have already voted for me!  MWAH!

So, for my card I was inspired by Kim Kesti's sketch over at SSD blog along with Arielle's funky color combo at Colour Q.  Put them together and you get this CAS number.


I started by stamping one of the fruit wedges ink three of the colors to look like their respective fruits, an orange, lemon and a lime.  I cut them out and popped them up on my card front.


Next, I took a scallop stamp from a discontinued set called    from Sassafrass and stamped it using Grape Jelly ink.  I then stamped my sentiment repeatedly in black.


Lastly, I added few purple rhinestones, ya know cause I {heart} them.


Here is a pic of the colors:


Now, for my little giveaway!  It's not much but I just wanted to show my appreciation to you for following my blog and well, just being fabulous!  I seriously can't believe you take the time to stop by my lil corner of the web to see what I have made.  I never imagined when I started this blog last January, that I would love it so much and find so many fabulous friends.  So thank you, thank you, thank you!!  Here is what's up for grabs:



Two Pink Paislee Stamp sets, Soiree and Daily Junque along with a copy of the latest Paper Crafts Magazine Special Issue, Stamp It! Cards!  YEAH!

All you have to do is leave me a comment...that is all, no tricks or gimmicks or hoops to jump through.  I will pick a random winner on Sunday, July 24th.  Thanks again for all of your support!  Have a fabulous day!

Lindsay

Supplies:
Paper: White Papertrey Ink

    Lindsay, I love this card: how you worked the colors from the challenge and how you stamped the sentiment over and over across the bottom - looks GREAT. Excellent! (and I {heart} purple bling, too)

    Lindsay girl, you are too sweet for having a little "pop" giveaway! Thank you for the chance! Your card is a juicy delight! That is quite the bright, summery color combo, and it's perfect for the citrusy stamps you chose! I have this week's SSD sketch on my "hope I can get to it" list this week and I was thinking of using the same stamp set! GMTA, LOL!
