Zesty Lemons

Mornin' y'all!  How's your day going so far?  I got an order of some Stampin' Up! goodies late on Tuesday (a couple of stamp sets and the new In Color markers and Blends, mostly) but for some reason I am still busting out the retired stamps instead of breaking in the new ones.  Case in point:

The inside of the card continues the thought with "Live it with zest!"  I painted the cut lemon with Wink of Stella but of course it doesn't show up.  I had to use Lemon Zest just for the inspo pic at Sunday Stamps:

I used Sweet Sorbet, Delightful Dijon, Lemon Lolly, white, and Boho Blue for my colors.  The lemon in the back was stamped with Delightful Dijon; it was too dark stamped at full strength so I used a sponge to soften the color a bit before I stamped it.  I thought the Sweet Sorbet plaid gave off picnic blanket vibes.

Check out this week's sketch from Atlantic Hearts:

And that's all I've got for today.  I'm going to take Daphne out for her walk and we're going to get blown all over by the wind but that's okay.  Have a great day, y'all!
