June has arrived and that means today starts the new Four Seasons challenge. It's hard to believe but Summer has arrived at the challenge blog and we are celebrating all things summer! Check out our fabulous mood board which of course is optional to use as Anything Summer Goes.
How about some pink lemonade?? Of course I had to ink up this cute stamp when I saw the mood board.
This is an old wood mounted stamp by Penny Black - Make Lemonade 1675K. I stamped it on watercolor paper and colored it with Distress inks. Also stamped it on a post it note which I then fussy cut to use as a mask. (Btw., although this stamp is an oldie, there are currently 3 listings for it on eBay so still a chance to purchase if you are in the US.)
The pretty border stamp is part of a recent Penny Black Flower of the Month set. I used the same border stamp at the top of the card (second generation stamping) and added a bit of watercoloring around the edges so it's not as bold as at the bottom. The slice of pink lemon is from a set by Stampin Up a more recent thrift store find and probably retired - Lemon Zest. I cut this out and glued to the card then added the sentiment from Penny Black set Micey Day. This is an older set but still available online through Lighthouse Books and Crafts (a Wisconsin, USA based Christian gift and craft shop with an Amazon store front as well.)

Another look below. I'm not sure I like the watercolored textured paper and also not a fan of how the watercoloring around the edges appears on the photo. It does look a bit more blended in real life. I found the sequins in my stash while moving things around/decluttering. The colors were a great fit so I added them for some shine and interest.

That is adorable! I am really loving just about anything pink lately.
I really enjoy your take on the inspiration photo, Ellie. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog to leave some love. I appreciate it very much. Hope you have a blessed week, my friend.
Thanks for sharing these mice drinking pink lemonade!!! What a unique stamp image!!! And the wordplay of your sentiment is a fun touch! I like the muted washed watercolor look of the edges. Emphases go to the sentiment and the cute 'getting full' mice! From FQGGCB, Becca
