When Life Gives You Lemons

 It's mid-week already. The beginning of the week we spent out at Baby Creek doing finish work on the barn roof and clearing shrubs and invasive plants out of part of our property. Although we had long pants and long sleeves, the bugs managed to bite me in lots of places. Last night I spent 3 hours up trying to stop the itch. I think I've found a few things to help and hopefully will have a better night's sleep tonight. If not, maybe I'll just come down and make more cards. Here's a card that I finished this evening.

The image is from Bugaboo Stamps called Frame It - JJ - Life Gives You Lemons. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut it out. The background yellow paper is stamped with a lemon stamp from a very old Stampin' Up set called Sun Ripened with embossing ink to give it a very subtle effect. The orange paper with the lemon slices came from a stash given to me from Teacher's Warehouse. I used black card stock to make the bright colors pop. It really hard to see but the blue ribbon and the blue that I colored the dress come from the orange lemon paper. There are some small blue dots in the paper. This card is headed for my SIL for her birthday. She buys lots of lemons for their drinks so I thought this would be appropriate. I am entering these challenges:

• Catch the Bug: anything goes
• Simon Says Wednesday challenge: humorous/fun card
• The Outlawz Wednesday Sketch challenge: sketch 
  
• Through the Craft Room Door: anything goes
• A Bit More Time to Craft Extra: anything goes

With not much sleep last night I think I'm going to head to bed early this evening. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are well and safe from fires, weather and Covid. Stay safe and God bless!
