Inspired By #135... fruity sentiments!


YAY!!!  I couldn't wait to play with Inspired By #135... if you know me at all, you know I do love a pun... and don't think you have to use lemons...

 
and this card gave me the first opportunity to  use
my newest addition to my
VERY large embossing folder collection! 
Tasteful Textile from SU... it did a pretty good job
of representing the cotton from those linens, right?
 

I haven't given the EBE Squeeze the Day stamps, or dies, near enough love - it's so much fun to color … and Julie E. just gets my pun-y side - I could just squeeze her!  I'd love to squeeze all the IB design team members, too … we'll have to be satisfied by a visit... join me?  over at IB#135?  Thanks!

Yay! We were crafting together! Although my day got away from me and I made my card last night! Love how we used the same set and images but our cards are so different!

Oooohhh...must check out the EF!

So much squeezing, we are all a bit starved of friendship hugs at the moment so virtual ones will have to suffice. You have coloured your lime so well, love that greeny yellow, great embossing folder and oval die. they make the card come together beautifully xx

Gorgeous! Jo x

Perfect images to layer on gray and the hemstitch adds just the right amount of contraint! Fab sentiment.

That embossing folder is ideal...and those juicy limes are just the thing of a salt-rimmed marguerita.

I love everything about this Michele! Your background, the hemstitch, the limes...everything! It's so pretty!

This is just fresh, fun and delightful! And I am happy to see that new embossing folder....I have been on the fence about whether or not I "need" it, it's nice to see the texture it gives. Might have to get it after all! Your limey coloring is spot on, and yes, the sentiment is punny too!

Jeanne said...

Fabulous and fun! And a new embossing folder? Oh my, lucky ducky you! Thanks for sharing your wonderful card.

OH NO! Now I need this embossing folder... This card is fabulous and makes my mouth pucker. Love the punny sentiment.

OMG! (I wanted to use an F in there too but didn't) This is SO FUN!! You know what I like about it the best? THAT PUN!!! Made me laugh out loud!!

Bonnie said...

Fresh and lovely! Great embossing folder and I always love those hemstitch frames!

Perfect pun-y sentiment, Michele! I love the oval hemstitch die and the embossing folder! The white panel does look like cloth. SU's subtle dynamic textured impressions and tasteful textile 3D EFs are my recent favorites!

Love these easy speedy lemons! I really hoped to play along this week but I just ran out of energy and time!

Ros Crawford said...

Love those limes!! What a terrific card and I like the pun!

Mac Mable said...

Yay to squeezing Michele x. What a pretty card and the texture from the embossing folder shows off the Limes to perfection and of course loving the sentiment x.

This is so elegant, Michele! Beautiful coloring and I LOVE all the texture you created with your embossing folder! You are the "Queen of Embossing Folders"! Love the hemstitch oval, too...I think I 'need' that die :)
