Card Art by Helen

Here's this month's sketch:

And here's the project it inspired:

The Mediterranean Blooms 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper is the star of this no stamping project, and what's even better is you can save 15% when you purchase this paper during August's DSP Sale!
 

A single full lemon arrangement was carefully cut out from the Mediterranean Blooms patterned paper sheet using Paper Snips. This was adhered to a die cut Basic White Cardstock circle, cut using the largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Linen Thread was adhered to the reverse of the "Bunches of thanks" sentiment from the Saying Something Ephemera Pack using Glue Dots, and the sentiment attached to the circle focal element using Stampin' Dimensionals.

A 2¾" square of paper was cut from the Night of Navy and Basic White patterned paper sheet (also from the Mediterranean Blooms DSP), and cut in half diagonally. Each triangle was adhered to the short sides of a Balmy Blue Cardstock layer (measuring 3⅞" x 5⅛"). The Balmy Blue layer was added to a Basic White mat, and both adhered to a Night of Navy folded card base.

The circle focal element was adhered to the centre of the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. Daffodil Delight Opal Rounds from the Opal Rounds Assortment were added as the final embellishments.
