And for an extra shot of snark, I made a card that would have worked perfectly with the more traditional version of the saying.
I used a Crafters Companion stamp set that Santa brought me and hadn't seen ink yet. I stamped the lemons, masked them then stamped splodges and bubbles all around. Then I stamped a block of tiny bubbles around the edge with clear ink to form a wide border and heat embossed with holographic powder. You can't see the sparkly shine very well in the photo but in real life it does add a lemonade sparkle to the card. After all the stampy embossy stuff was done, I removed the masking and coloured the lemons. Then I went and had a much deserved refreshing beverage.
I used a lemon pearl embossing powder to stamp the sentiment onto black card - I'm going through a bit of a phase of embossing sentiments in white on black and this is a nice variation on the theme.
Naturally I am sharing this with the Sistahs over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers - Y is for yellow - and isn't Edna looking glamorous today?
