When Life Gives You Lemons...PDCC19 43

Hi Everyone! Thanks to all who played along with last week's challenge at The Play Date Cafe :) Are you ready for a Fresh & Fun color challenge? This week, Sarah challenged us to create with this wonderful color combination showcased in this gorgeous inspirational piece of art courtesy of Maria Madeiros.
This is what Sarah had to say about this week's color combination:"Yellow really isn't my colour, although it is definitely creeping into my box of supplies! A couple of years ago I wouldn't have been able to produce this journal page as I just never bought any products in yellow. But I've learnt what a great accent colour can be, and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed playing with it on it's own in my journal"

Here is my Easter Greetings card:I love the color yellow - it is so fresh & spring-like. When I first saw this graphic, I immediately thought of the saying, "When Life gives you Lemons, make Lemonade!" :) Instead of lemonade, I ended up with a big, beautiful bloom!This flower was super easy to make. First, I stamped the various size Flower images with VersaMark ink, embossed then cut using the appropriate size Spellbinders Blossom Two die. Once I had the flowers cut out, I had fun coloring them with a few shades of Copic Markers, sponged the edges a bit with SU Creamy Caramel ink & added a little dimension by bending up the edges.

To make the tag, I inked up the Easter Wishes sentiment from the SU All Holidays set with VersaMark, embossed with gold embossing powder then cut it out using a Spellbinders Labels 5 die.
Check out the size of the lemons that grow in abundance in Southern Italy! This photo was taken in Pompeii, Italy. We stopped at a little shop after touring the ruins of Pompeii for a refreshing taste of chilled Limoncello :)

If you would like to take a stroll down a typical ancient Pompeii street, please check out this short video! Enjoy!



That's it for today! I hope you can join along with this week's creativity challenge. After you have made your project, please head on over to The Play Date Cafe & link your post to Mr. Linky.
