Sweet Citrus

This is a set of cards that I made using the Sweet Citrus stamp set. They all have the same basic layout. They have a card base and a 5-1/4" x 4" Basic White layer that I stamped the fruit on. I then added a greeting and a few embellishments to complete the cards. I changed up the colors therefore, changed the fruit!

It's Memorial Day. I pray you are remembering all those who have gone before us and served this great country with their lives. 

Sweet Citrus is a great stamp set. It has coordinating dies and embossing folder. You can do so much with this set. Let me show you a couple of ideas. 

I started off sharing a some grapefruit. While I am not a grapefruit eater, I can appreciate the colors and smells of grapefruit, just not the sour taste. I should try again, it has been a while. To create the two shades of colors on the fruit I inked up the stamp with So Saffron (which has now retired so Lemon Lolly or Daffodil Delight would work) and then add some some Calypso Coral with a sponge dauber to the image before stamping and die cutting.
