Twofer Card Challenge #24

You know how you buy stamps because you love them and then don't use them right away?  That's the way I felt about the Squeeze the Day set by EbyE.  Well I found a reason to break it out - the Twofer Challenge and their word prompt.
I used the set, including the punny sentiments, to make both lemons and limes, coloring them with Altenew watercolors.
The lemons were die cut and some of them popped up with foam tape for my encouragement card.
For the birthday card I did all over stamping and then added some light spatters.  It's the little image with the leaf that you can find on both cards.

Thanks for another fun challenge, Twofer Team.

Bobby, how clever to make both lemons and limes. I'd never have thought of that. Your bundle of lemons look fresh and ready to pick. YOur limes make for a fab background. Two fabulously fruity designs! Thanks for playing along at Twofer Chard Challenge 24!

Your lemons look so juicy and delicious and your limes are...well, sublime!

Love your two different designs, Bobby, and how you used the image as lemons on one design and lightly schplattered limes on the other! That's using the ol' noggin and I'm glad you were able to use some NBUS and you've got two terrific cards for your stash!! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #24! Hugs, Darnell

When life [or EBE] hands you lemons, you make limes out of them!! So very cute, and clever, Bobby!

Well, Bobby....now you've got me wanting a 7-up (or maybe a Sprite), lol!! These are great! That darn Ellen makes such awesome stamps, and you've used them perfectly for the Twofer Challenge. Love your encouragement card. That cluster of bright lemons looks wonderful in the corner surrounded by all that lovely white space. It makes my heart happy. And your lime card...I love created backgrounds, and this one is fabulous. It's a great birthday card. I'm so glad you joined us at The Twofer Challenge - thanks for playing along! xo Bev

Zingy and zesty, Bobby ... and deliciously mouthwatering ... both of them! Those hanging lemons look all ready to be plucked ... and I love the splattering over the limes ... it's all delicate and wonderfully fresh! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)

Oh Bobby, these are both wonderful! I love those lemons layered in a bunch, and that sentiment is terrific! Such a great idea to use the image as limes too, and your little speckles look perfect with them! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!

Wow! That's a whole lotta pucker in one post - haha! Love both cards, and how fun that you have fruit... I unfortunately only have one single peach... bummer! With my lack of time at the present, I'm just trying to catch up with others and enjoy their amazing stuff!
