Pucker Up

I wanted to make a little gifty for a swap I'm in, and I thought some of these Crystal Light packets would be perfect. Since they're lemon-flavored, I had to go with yellow, which fits this week's Stamp Simply challenge.

When I saw today's 365 Cards sketch, I knew I could make a little pocket and slip them inside. I didn't have the right shade of yellow ink to stamp with, so I decided to clear emboss lemon slices on the yellow dp. It's simple, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. What do you think?

Stamps: Tart & Tangy (SU), Pucker Up (A Muse)
Paper: PTI white, dp (unknown)
Ink: Basic Black, Versamark
Accessories: clear embossing powder, word window punch, pearls (Kaisercraft), rick rack (May Arts), dimensionals

    I actually think that the clear embossing is a better accent than plain stamping would be. What a fun idea.
