I used a retired SU! set called "A Happy Thing" and paper pieced the lemon and leaves with yellow and green dsp. Click the photo to enlarge and see those details. I used a small Cheery Lynn flourish die that was cut from mint green and added a couple butterflies done with a SU! retired Sizzlet die. I used Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz cardstock and paper for this, adding a few gemstones on the butterflies along with some clear Nuvo glitter drops randomly placed. A Taylored Expressions sentiment, corner rounder, and a twine bow finished this card.
The prize this week is a bag Melissa's put together for you that's filled with flowers of all sizes and she says you're really going to be happy with it :)

What a beauty, Carol! Love this lemon image and how you paper pieced the lemon! I also love that flourish die! Together it makes for a very sweet card! Love your take on this week's sketch! Hope I can find some time to play along this week. TFS and hope your staying cool & dry! :)
Oh, how cute lemon matched with this flourish and the tiny butterflies! The dotted paper makes the perfect background for them and the clear drops are a lovely detail! Great take of the sketch!!
Love the paper piecing on that lemon! Great choice of paper for it too. Fabulous card and love the sketch.
Lookin' good! I so like that lemon image. It is so pretty! I like the way you added the leaf die cut (I have that die, too, and it is a favorite) but used the butterflies instead of flowers. The whole composition of your card is fresh and lovely. Another winner.
Your design is so pretty Carol! I love that you've paper pieced the lemon and leaves! The colors are perfect and you've done a beautiful job with the sketch my friend! :) HUGS
A sweet card Carol, lovely colours - so pretty.

Beautiful pear image and I love the mix of papers and colors you used for your card design.
What a refreshing card! Love the paper piecing on the lemon and the way you accented around it with the flourish.
Great card and fab sketch.
That swirl looks so pretty with the lemons! Shhh, I think the rain is gone for now! Great job with this sketch, Carol.

Wow I was enjoying what I thought was all the detail that you put into this fresh as lemonade card but I hadn't noticed the paper piecing which looks amazing but I bet it's even better in person! Glad you pointed that out - great job!
This is a lovely card. That lemon is pretty and lemons are a happy color.
