Hi! Today I'm playing along with our current Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge, which encourages you to think outside the box and use a product in a way that it wasn't necessarily intended. Can you tell which image I used to make the flower below?
It's a lemon from the Zest Wishes stamp set! I repeatedly stamped the image in a circle with Clear Embossing + Watermark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then I colored the flower using a water brush and a rainbow assortment of Reactive Inks. There is also a smaller lemon in the set, so you could make two different sizes of flowers!
I wanted to keep the card clean and simple, so I added a subtle dry embossed background using the Large Flower Stencil. The petal design is a perfect complement to the floral focal point.
I stamped a message from the HA + Pinkfresh Studio You Make A Difference stamp set. And added some Clear Enamel Dots for the finishing touch!
Reminder: Our "Out of the Box" challenge ends on Thursday, May 7th at 5:00pm PT and all the details can be found HERE.
So I guess when life gives you lemons...make a flower! ;)

What a great idea!
Great card!
This is so creative!
What a fantastic way to stretch this stamp and what a beautiful and cheerful card. LOVE it!
Kelly- I can’t express how very clever this is! Fabulous unexpected use of the lemons, and beautifully done. You’ve got me looking at my stash differently today, for which my creative mojo thanks you! Be well and stay safe.
I love too see how clever Hero Arts artists are. ( try saying that 3 times quickly)
Brilliant, Kelly! Equally gorgeous and clever! Love this so much!
Great card Kelly, I would never have guessed you used a lemon stamp. The flower is stunning and you also inivented a new saying “when life gives you lemons…make a flower” I love it!
Thank you so much for sharing your great inspiration, stay safe and have a wonderful day.
WA wa WHAT.? Cannot believe that! Best example of out of the box! Ever! HA should give you a prize! Thanks for the inspiration and I’m gonna look at my Stamps to see any hidden beauties. Thanks and continue to stay safe!
