I used: Day 19 Keep it to Yourself, Day 53 Fun with Fruit, Day 71 Sketch, and Day 83 Make it Match.
Here is a shot of the front of my card - Fun with Fruit. I used a stamped image of a lemon (Stampin' Up) which I colored with SU markers. The cardstock is all SU and I think the printed paper is also SU. I embossed the green paper with my NEW Sizzix embossing folder! (Thank you Haylie Jo at CropStop!) I added some ribbon and a paper rose (also from CropStop). I followed the sketch from Day 71. A very versatile sketch!
This is the inside - Keep it to Yourself. The greeting was NOT to be on the front. So I stamped a sentiment onto embossed paper, and inked it with some chalk ink, then attached it to the inside of the card.
This is the matching envelop - Make it Match. I placed a strip of the printed paper on the front of the envie and added a "spotlight" from the stamped image. Ok, I am just loving coloring with my markers! If only I did not need those darn reading glasses!
There is my Combo Challenge! How did I do?! I didn't even cheat today! If you love combining challenges, make sure to visit the Pile it On challenge blog!
Thinking of You??? I had the sentiment pegged as "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." HA! I'm sure that stamp exists, but I don't have it! And BTW ... you did GREAT!
