Day 98: Pink Lemonade Smile Card

Since tomorrow is the last day of May it's also the last day to get the Taste of Summer stamp set. So I figured it deserves one last project, right?
I was inspired by the Color Throwdown #344 - the colors of Pink Lemonade! I started with the new sketch from RetroSketches. I cut a card base from Sweet Leaf cardstock. I made a large vellum cup with the flaps like I did for my other lemonade cup to fill the open white area and sponged it pink for the lemonade. I cut them 1/2" wider than I need them to be, then score at an angle down each side to make the flaps. Then I adhere the inside pieces down before gluing the flaps to the card, slightly rounding the vellum like a cup. 
Inside the cup this time I added half wedges of pink lemons and a dotted paper straw I built out of a 5/8" strip of paper that I curved over a paper piercing tool and popped up with foam tape. I slit the full slice of lemon and slid it onto the edge of the cup. I outlined my lemons with a fine tipped black pen after seeing this card by Karen Pederson. A little "sugar" in the form of glitter gel and I was ready to smile.  Thanks for stoppin' by!

Fantastic card Wendy. Love the glass of lemonade... the lemon pieces are perfect. Great take on the photo. Thank you for playing along with us at The Color Throwdown.

A-dooorable idea! Using vellum for the glass is genius. The curve on the straw and glass and the way the fruit pieces are popped upside as if floating - incredible. I think I have some citrus art somewhere - you've inspired me to finally use it!
