Serendipity = Sweet!



Today the sun is shining and I'm sitting here wearing shorts! and the birds are chirping... summer is coming!! woo hoo.  Nothing says summer like a big pitcher of Lemonade : )  I am excited to be entering my card in this month's challenge at Serendipity Stamps challenge - Die Cut!!



I started out by stenciling some yellow ink on my card base then I cut a Tag from Serendipity Stamps.  I stamped my pitcher on to the tag and die cut out the word "Sweet".  I cut another "Sweet" from bright yellow cs and inked the bottom just a bit to give better dimension. Next I inlaid my die cut and applied just a VERY light amount of soft yellow pencil to the lemons and the lemonade in the pitcher.  Finally came some Wink of Stella and a few ice blue sequins a seam binding bow and a piece of Baker's Twine!! Walla!! easy peasy!


I will also enter this in the Happy Little Stampers challenge : ) I sure hope it is CAS enough! That bow might have put me over the edge but I hope they'll allow it.

I appreciate you stopping by : )  I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Patti

Supplies:
Stencil - Funky florals by MFT
Image, Die cut and Tag by Serendipity Stamps
Sequins from PPP

Hi Patti! so clever to leave the lemonade pitcher uncolored and add the color with the die cut word and embellishments!
