Zesty Day

I'm the hostess this week at Tic Tac Toe Challenge. I hope that I have created a fun board for your summer cards.  For my card I officially used the middle row across, however I also used other elements from the board.  I love that you get so many ideas from these boards.  You don't have to limit yourself to just three elements - you just need to have at least three in a row!

I used several Lawn Fawn stamps sets and dies.  Lawn Fawn is a company in Southern California that I have been buying from for years.  They have adorable critters that are fun to color and they mix and match very well.  They have numerous mice sets and all the mice are about the same size.  So when I wanted to find mice in various poses it was easy to combine them from different sets.  

The lemons are a stand alone die set that I added shading to by using a sponge and ink around the edges.  The cut lemon and flowers are created in a similar way with sponging ink.  The sentiment is heat embossed and I used Henry's ABC's dies to create the word "ZEST".

I hope you've enjoyed my card and will join us at the challenge this week!
