Lemongrass

A new month, a new color at our Colorful Options Challenge 
and this month it is LEMONGRASS, you can read the options below:

Option 1 — Lemongrass

Create a project featuring lemongrass as the primary color.

Think bright citrus yellow, zesty lemon, fresh grass green, and vibrant yellow-green tones. Bold, glowing, soft, or natural—any shade within this fresh spectrum is welcome.

Option 2 — Yellow-Green Spectrum

Prefer a variation? Focus on the yellow to green color range.

How fun are these colors?  I right away thought of using one of my very favorite
Simon Says embossing folders with stencils 'Butterfly Escapade'.

I started with a SSS Lemon Chiffon card stock to emboss on then stenciling with

SSS Lemonade, Distress Oxide Twisted Citron, and Memento Pear Tart inks.

The folder also comes with butterfly dies and the butterfly body parts

which I opted NOT to use this time.  I also left a sentiment off for now
so that it will fit any occasion when needed. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you too will

join in our 'Colorful Options' fun!!

Happy Birthday Cards

Here we are, winding down our summer months again
and we have a new OPTIONAL challenge theme at
Love Those Pretty Papers.
and it is
Look To The Sky
(Galaxy Lightening Sunshine Clouds Stars).

Keep in mind the theme is only OPTIONAL as we are an
anything goes challenge using your pretty papers!

I made a card using the theme as I had purchased a 'new to me'
paper pad by Brutus Monroe BEDtime, it's full of stars, moons and
more!  All I added was a Spellbinders Betterpress sentiment and I now
have a masculine card to add to my stash!

For my ANYTHING GOES card I once again turned to my
Brutus Monroe papers and used a pretty paper from their
SUNFLOWER soiree collection!  The sentiment is Altenew
Beautiful Inside (which I used outside) stamped with Dew Drop 
Bamboo Leaves ink on a MFT Die-namics label die Framed Greetings.

Hope to see you over at Love Those Pretty Papers with YOUR papers!!

Summer Somewhere

We are into our last SUMMER month at The Four Seasons,
can you believe it, the months go by so fast it seems!!

We have a summery mood board for inspiration but you can
create anything as long as you stay within our SUMMER theme!

As soon as I saw this mood board I knew I wanted to use paper from

my Mintay 6x6 pad of Marina as it has the bottle from the
upper left corner and the lighthouse from the bottom right.
I mounted it on some navy blue card base and stamped a
sentiment from The Project Bin Summer Fun.

Come on over and spend the last days of SUMMER with us at
The Four Seasons!!
