Fruity Hi!

Hello!  It's Thursday... one more day to go until the weekend!  Woo hoo!

Todays card was a real challenge for me... I saw this sketch on My Time Made Easy and knew I wanted to pair it with today's Ways to Use it challenge over on Splitcoast Stampers to use vellum.  I then found this summery color combination on Create, Ink that made me think of my Tart & Tangy set which is retiring at the end of this month which makes me sad because it's a cute go-to set for quick cards!

This card, however was NOT quick for me.  I had a vision in my head, but had a hard time making it a reality.  Do you ever have that problem?  Ugh, I hate it!  I knew I wanted the squares to be the fruit, but I just didn't have a sentiment large enough, or appropriate for the card to go on the main panel.  So, I pulled out my retired Letterpress Alphabet and made my own simple greeting.  I stamped it on vellum which is always a disaster for me because I'm impatient and can't wait for the ink to dry!  I think I ended up stamping this 3 different times before I got one that was centered, straight, and didn't smudge.

I pulled out this really cute polka dotted Tempting Turquoise designer paper from the retired Island Oasis designer paper. 

In the end, I am happy with the result!
