Inspire. Create. Stamping Challenges # 196

Welcome to my Corner of the World

This month the challenge is Oranges & Lemons. We can either chose to use the colours or to have oranges and lemons on our card. As I am now starting to unpack my crafting supplies I was able to find a stamp set with oranges and lemons as well as the prettiest sprig of orange blossom.

  • Base Card: 11 1/2 x 4 1/8 Basic White Card ~ scored @ 2 7/8 & 5 3/4
  • Front Panel Layer 1: 4 x 2 3/4 Lemon Lolly Card
  • Front Panel Layer 2: 3 3/4 x 2 1/2 Basic White Card
  • Front Strip: 11 1/2 x 1 1/4 Lemon Lolly Card ~ scored @ 5 3/4 & 2 7/8
  • Decorative Pieces: 2 pieces 2 3/4 x 1 1/16 and 1 piece 5 1/2 x 1 1/16 x
  • Ink Color: Stazon and Crumb Cake with Water Color Pencils.

The measurements above use A4 size card. Click here for measurements using 11 x 8 1/2 card

I call this fold a double Z fold, looks impressive but so easy to do. The orange and lemon strips are made with stencils and inks and I will be sharing the technique in the coming days. I broke out my watercolor pencils to color the blossom spray before adding a scattering of lemon and orange sequins.
