So have you ever seen stamps and known right away exactly what you wanted to create with them? That is what happened when I first saw these new fruity gals from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. This card flashed into my brain right down to the very papers and sentiment that I wanted to use... all I had to do was wait for my order to arrive and when they came I couldn't wait to ink these two right up.
You see, I LOVE a nice big glass of raspberry lemonade. It is easily one of my most favorite drinks... I'm getting thirsty just thinking about it right now, LOL! The pairing is the perfect mix of sweet and tart so I thought it would make for a fun kind of inside joke to play off of that perfect blend on this friendship themed card. I typed up my sentiment, stamped Rebecca Raspberry and masked her off before stamping Lily Lemon over her so that the two would look like they overlapped in the frame I cut out for them. And then the rest of the card truly felt like it just flew together and I can honestly say that it turned out just like I first envisioned it would over a week ago. Always so much fun when that happens! ;)
Well here's hoping for warmer weather so that I can enjoy a cool drink of raspberry lemonade sooner rather than later!
Thanks so much for dropping by... hope your day is a sweet one! :)

Hi Amy. This is super adorable! I love your take on the raspberry lemonda. What a great idea. Mine all time fave is strawberry lemonade. OMGoodness...there just isn't anything better to drink on a hot summer day. :O) I love the papers that you used as well. Also one of my faves. It sounds like we were like you guys yesterday. It was so grey and gloomy. It was still warmer so I won't complain too much. lol...Have a great day. Hugs, Lisa
Nothing ever turns out the way I expect it to, lol! So this is a real accomplishment in my eyes on top of the fact that it's ADORABLE! I love the colors, theme and stamps, just a perfect compliment!
