You Make Life Sweeter

Hello and happy Saturday!!

I used a few different Peachy Keen sets for this
card.  I started with a plain white A2 card base.
I inked it with Tim Holtz Distress Ink
in Stormy Sky and Mowed Lawn.
I then stamped the flowers from the
April SOTM.  I then paper pieced each flower
with some pattern paper from Doodlebug.
I colored in the leaves and added some
Stardust Stickles to add some sparkle.

The cute little skunk is from the Cottage Cutz
Stinky Skunk  Die and Stamp set designed
by Peachy Keen.  I cut her from gray cardstock and
then added  some Distress Ink in Black Soot.  I
stamped one  of the faces that came with the
die and added glossy accents. 
My sun is a punched circle cut down to fit in the
corner and I added some Distress Ink in
Mustard Seed and Wild Honey.  The cute face is
from the new Moodies Assortment from Peachy Keen.

My banner was cut from My Creative Time die
and the sentment is from Pink By Design
"Country Life" stamp set.  Stamped with
Versamark and then embossed with Zing
Embossing Powder in Neon Pink.
I added a tiny bit of twine and a butterfly

I took my inspiration from the colors,
the fruit and the drink.
Here is my card:
 
The mason jar stamp from the Peachy Keen
April SOTM reminded me of Lucille's Smokehouse.
They serve all their drinks in mason jars.
Their lemonade is especially yummy.
I stamped the jar using Brilliance Starlite Silver ink
I then colored in the lemonade using
my Stampin Up markers in Yoyo Yellow.
I then coved the entie jar with Glossy Accents.
(as you can see, the color ran a little...oopps!!)
The sentiment came from Just Becasue Cards
Cricut Cartridge cut at 2.5".
 
My cute little lemons were cut from Simply Charmed
at 1.75" and the lemon slices were cut
from Savory at 2.6".  The cute faces
on my lemons are from the
"Erkle and Merkle" Assortment.
 
The papers are from My Mind's Eye
6x6 Happy Day paper pad.
The ribon is from Michaels.
I also added some distress ink.
