Lemonade Card

Since I already made one Lemonade Card this is the 2nd. 
Wanted this one to look somewhat like a lemonade stand with the yellow checkered cardstock. This time I used the memory box Small Canning Jar die. Used a couple studio g stamps. Used Stampin' Up Adorning Accents: embossing border & edgelit. Was pleased with the look of the stamped lemons at bottom of card that I used the same SU embossing border & edgelit on at top of card. Used Glossy accents for a liquid look in the drink. Recycled a plastic straw. Can you see the glossy accents inside the plastic straw? Added the Small Canning Jar lid to top of the sentiment tag & added gingham ribbon.























Supplies List

die: memory box Small Canning Jar
Glossy accents: added to the vellum of Small Canning Jar
inks: Memento Dandelion
machine: Sizzix BIGkick
paper: vellum, cardstock - Recollections - Citrus Blend & Pastel Printed
recycle: plastic straw
ribbon: Easter 2011
stamps: studio g
Stampin' Up: 
   die - Adorning Accents edgelit, 
   embossing - Adorning Accents embossing border
