WPlus9 | You’re Sweet & Strong Fruit Card

WPlus9 | You're Sweet & Strong Fruit Card using Summer Citrus stamps. Card by Yana Smakula

Hello, friends! I got carried away a bit the other day playing with my Summer Citrus stamps from WPlus9 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.

CARD DETAILS

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’re Sweet & Strong message in black ink.

Have fun stamping!

  1. I too really love the colors! So soft and feminine and just pretty. I also really like the way you stamped more fruit at the top and less at the bottom. It gives the appearance of movement … like they’re falling down! Thanks, Yana!
