Simply The Zest

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! I am sharing a bright, fruit-themed card featuring Fruitful Friends and Squeeze the Day from Time For Tea Designs. Summer is the perfect time to enjoy delicious, fresh fruit! 🍓🍋🍉

I grabbed the Sweet Scalloped Dies to cut out some patterned paper from the Sweet Summer 6x6' Paper Pad, then used double-sided tape to attach it to my card base.

Next, I cut a panel from red and green patterned paper with the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies. I ink-blended Abandoned Coral and Twisted Citron Distress Ink with my Beautiful Blender Brushes. I used a watercolour brush and some water to add Festive Berries and Mowed Lawn Distress Watercolour Pencil splatter. I added white splatter with a paintbrush and Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain. Once this was dry, I used double-sided tape to attach it to my card base.

I stamped several images from the Fruitful Friends and Squeeze the Day stamp sets, coloured them with Copics, and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. The worm with glasses is from Book Buddies, the sun and clouds are from Rain Or Shine Mice, and the flowers are from Ewe Are The Best.

I stuck the images to the card base using liquid glue or double-sided foam tape for dimension and added several Sweet Summer Designer Enamel Dots to complete the card.
