Circle Sayings Card Class, Card 3
Circle Sayings Smile Card
We are now on to the last card from my Weekly Card Class From ME. And this week features the Circle Sayings Bundle by Stampin’ Up!. Don’t be fooled by the sour lemons in the names of the colors on this card! Lemon Lolly and Lemon Lime Twist actually combine together very sweetly.

Fern 3D Embossing Folder
While you might have expected to see Lemon Lime Twist (the green color in this card) used with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, it is actually the opposite for this Circle Sayings Smile Card.
I chose to emboss a layer of Lemon Lolly (the yellow color!). In this case, the embossing is simply texture, and the ferns fade softly into the background. Try this folder in unexpected colors for your next project!
Lemon Lime and Lemon Lolly
When I began to design this card, I had no idea that these 2 colors would pair so nicely together! I also didn’t realize how closely their names resemble each other…that’s a lot of “lemons” from Lemon Lolly and Lemon Lime Twist.
To add interest to my Lemon Lime Twist die cut, courtesy of the Countryside Corners Dies, I scored some lines thru the green toned cardstock. I felt that adding in another embossing folder would be too much texture and the lines are a happy solution.
You may also notice from the picture above that I chose to add like color ink to my Bough Punched pieces. The continuous use of Lemon Lolly and Lemon Lime Twist dictated that I deepen some of my card elements to show contrast. I did this so easily with sponge daubers!
