Holiday Citrus – In the Round

Welcome back!  Happy Saturday…are you supporting your local merchants with Shop Small?

We just got back from a short perusal of shops on our main drag.  Lots of nice things with everyone decked out for Christmas.  With that in mind, I am in the Studio and playing with a few challenges. 

For CAS on Friday (#297), we are asked to create a clean and simple card with non-traditional holiday items.

Over at Alphabet (Letter R), the “R” is for Round and Just Add Ink (#730) is looking for Fruit.  Can’t get more Round than sliced Citrus and I would say that that is a non-traditional holiday item!

Bringing it all together, I chose the 2014 (#305) Layout for the current Sketch Saturday (#765) request.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Daffodil Delight cardstock.
• Background Panel: (4″ x 5¼”) Lemon Lime Twist Grid patterned piece of paper from the retired Tutti Frutti Designer Series Paper pack.
  • The sentiment, Season’s Greetings, from the Decorative Trees stamp set was stamped with Versamark and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.
• Focal Image – Wreath: Citrus Slices were fussy-cut with Paper Snips from the Citrus patterned piece of paper, also from the Tutti Frutti Designer Series Paper pack.
  • The Citrus elements were arranged into a Wreath circling the sentiment.  A few single Citrus Slices were added and popped up with Dimensionals.
• Decoration – Bow: Calypso Coral cardstock scrap.
  • The Bow image from the Sentimental Wishes stamp set was also stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder and then die-cut with the coordinating die from the Sentimental Wishes Dies set.
  • The Bow was added to the Wreath with a Dimensional.
• To complete the card, several Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed Dots were added for a bit of bling.

Happy Sweet Holidays!
