CR84FN #53


Spring has officially sprung up here in eastern Canada (although it was chilly today). The flowers are blooming, the grass is greening, people are starting to sneeze. Yep, it's a great time of year ;)

Even the colors for the latest CR84FN challenge are so springy and beautiful. Check it...


Aren't they stunning? So soft and pretty.


I had lots of ideas for these colors but I just couldn't get pink lemonade out of my mind. So I went with it. I used PTI's Friendship Jar and Summer Fillers. I masked the ice, straw, and lemons in places. I colored with my Copics then stamped my pink lemonade over top. I sponged pink around the edges of the card stock and stamped text lightly over top. When stamping the text, I inked up the stamp then used a wipe to touch parts of the stamp and remove the ink. This left a patchy appearance, which I really love :)

Hope you like it! Make sure to swing by and check out our sweet CR84FN DT - they've always got AMAZING eye candy and inspiration for all.

Too cute Andrea. I have not used this set in a while. I actually pulled it out and ended up using a different PTI set instead. Thanks for the inspiration. :)

We have some warmer weather, but then it gets cold again...this weekend should be in the 20s...we'll see! BUT the rain has brought us the green hills and mountains that will be yellow come summer...so I'm enjoying them now :) LOVE the soft colours on this and the pop of blue :)
