Make Lemonade!
Today is another Wacky Wednesday over at the Rubbernecker blog! Be sure to check out the great challenge that Candy has presented us with….using inchies in our design.
It’s also the monthly Dirty Dozen (past and present) design challenge at Splitcoaststampers. This month Christine has asked us to use watercoloring in a design that is based on water.
I chose to use my water to make lemonade! What better refreshment for those hot days of summer out by the pool or at the beach? (Well, besides a cold Bud, of course!)
My inchie lemons and the long tall glass of cool lemonade are watercolored. The lemons are punched with a 1″ square punch and matted on black cardstock. After I colored the lemonade and cut it out, I used Ranger Glossy Accents on the ice cubes for a really “cool” effect.
I used my Top Note die to cut out the S.E.I. linen. The sentiment is stamped on it using black StazOn ink.
We’d love for you to play along with us in the Wacky Wednesday challenge. You could win a 40% gift certificate to use at Rubbernecker! Check it out! And while you’re there, link up to the blogs of the other design team members for some “cool” inspiration!
