Hello Hello! And welcome to another Lawnscaping Challenge. How about a fun Summer color combo? Here in Florida, it is in the 90’s every single day! So I love this refreshing color combo…. So much so I made TWO projects. Let’s have a lookie:
For my first card, I had to make some pink lemonade. Nothing says summer like pink lemonade, right??? So of course, I had to use THIS SET and paired it with watercolors from this set (available in different quantities, see supply list below)…. I imagined rays of color bursting from the lemonade… And of course, I had to add some glossy accents to the pitcher and wink of stella glitter on the lemons.. Of course…
For my second card, I wanted to use this set…. Hello.. Summer. Ice cream. Popsicles… Can’t beat it. I heat embossed the image and sentiment in white and then used the same watercolors as the above card to color in the images and create the wash of colors. I inked up this set with peacock feathers distress ink (my all time favorite color) to create a panel…. And then for a finishing touch, I stamped the image from this set with Hero Arts Butter Bar shadow ink.
Oh, as a finishing touch, I did some edge distressing… If you don’t have a tool, grab a steak knife! It works like a charm! I think this card is my favorite of the two.

Love your bright water colors, Laurel! I’m thirsty for lemonade 😉 Stay cool in that 90 degree Florida heat (with what, 1,000% humidity!) 🙂 Well, your cards sure are COOL!! XOXO-Shari
Hahahah. Thanks!
Both of your cards are great! Love how your colors pop and the glossy accents on the pitcher makes it look just like yummy pink lemonade.
This is so perfect! Perfect for summers. 🙂
Two fun summer cards!
