You are Sweet & Strong Fruit Card with Yana

Hello friends! This is Yana and I hope you are having a fabulous week!

I got carried away a bit the other day playing with my Summer Citrus stamps and created yet another simple to make card featuring oranges and (possibly?) grapefruits. As I was looking for inspiration for my cards I searched for “fruit illustration” on Pinterest and stumbled upon a multitude of fantastic ideas! I still have many of them open on my computer, so I’ll probably end up making more cards using these stamps.

I started working on this card by randomly stamping circles in Hayride and Miami Spice onto a white cardstock panel cut to 4 x 5 ¼”. I overlapped many of the circles and added more towards the top of the card and less at the bottom.

Next, I used a coordinating outline stamp and added a shade darker outlines to each of the stamped circles. I used Pumpkin Spice and Sweet Nectar colors. I also stamped leaves directly onto the panel anywhere where I could find a spot without overlapping these with other images. I used Last Leaf and Appletini colors.

Using a dotted cluster stamp I added what looks like ink splatter onto the background and adhered my panel onto an A2 top folding card base.

To add even more green I stamped and die-cut additional leaf clusters and foam mounted them onto the card. As I was doing so I made sure to keep one section of the card free from any additional layers and reserved that space for a sentiment. Lastly, I stamped "You are Sweet & Strong" from Southern Sentiments message in black ink.

Have fun stamping!
