Taste of Summer - Simply Sublime

Ready for another Taste of Summer sampling?   Today I'm sharing a layout.  This layout started out from a sketch from one of the Make It From the Heart sketches but totally evolved into a sketch all it's own.  I had cut the papers which consisted of 3 pennant pieces that ran vertical across the pages.  I  left it laying unattached for a few days - never adding the adhesive because there was something about it I just didn't like.  I couldn't put my finger on it.   As I was getting ready for my Album In A Day workshop, I scooped it all up and put it back in the bag to take along with me thinking I'd finish it during the workshop.  When I pulled it out to work on it, I decided to change it up and this is what I ended up with.  I like it much better than my original layout.



To stamp my limes, I used 2nd generation stamping with Pear ink and then I rolled the edges in pear again to give it a darker tone around the rind.  My strawberries were stamped in Cotton Candy ink and then rolled in Cranberry.   I added Pink Glitter Gems for a final touch to my layout.

This is just one of 4 layouts and LOTS of cards that I have created using ONE Taste of Summer paper pack!  I still have more to share so be sure to come back later this week for another Taste of Summer Sampling!!  I'll be sharing another card I created on Friday!

Get your own exclusive Taste of Summer Paper Pack and Taste of Summer stamp set today!  This paper pack and stamp set are available ONLY during the Month of May (or while supplies last!).

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
