DCM - June elemental inspiration

Happy Friday!

As the first Friday of the month, it's time for a new inspiration challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog.

These are the elements for June:

I was inspired in particular by the photo of the picnic and raspberry lemonade:

Paper: Simple Stories - Spring Farmhouse
Stamps: Memory Box - Best Life Typewriter Sentiments, The Greetery - Just Mason Around, The Stamp Market - Citrus Vine
Dies: The Greetery - Just Mason Around, The Stamp Market - Citrus Vine, Hero Arts - Infinity Nesting Rectangles, Neat & Tangled - Skinny Strips

 

I went with gingham, lemons, a jar, and blooms as my inspiration, plus the blush pink tones of the watermelon.

The yellows look a bit in your face I know, can never get that colour to photograph nicely and accurately. But I just love the citrus vine set from The Stamp Market, the little details for adding ink layering really add dimension, and I am tempted to do brighter colours next time for the lemons. :)

Now that we have a UK retailer for The Stamp Market I also managed to get some of their coordinating cardstock which I've used for the leaves and blossoms.

Make sure you check out the rest of the design team projects for this challenge, and play along if you can!

Happy crafting!
