What’s your fav summer food? One of mine has got to be watermelon.
Love it!
I’ve got a card with a watermelon slice on it today for you . . .
It’s a seedless watermelon – can you tell? All the seedless watermelons
I get have these little white “seeds” anyway (why do they call
it seedless if it has these white seeds?). I may never know.
Anyway – at AAA Cards, the challenge this week is for Summer Foods.
Please be sure to join us. I cannot wait to see what you have to share!
On my watermelon rind, I actually used a technique called “rocking”.
I began with the lightest green I have (Pistachio Pudding (#131177),
then took the same stamp and rocked the back of it
(where the back of the rind would be) in Wild Wasabi (#109014).
Finally, to get the dark green outside of the rind, I rocked the
stamp in Garden Green. Then I laid it on the card stock.
See the different colors?
To make the tasty eating part of the melon, I stamped off the
Strawberry Slush (#131178) once each time before stamping
on the card stock.
The card stock is Whisper White (#100730)
and the Stamp Set is Work of Art (#134111).
Of course, those seeds are Basic Pearl Jewels (#119247).
Fun card, and a great challenge. See you there!
Just wanted to share that I’m rockin’ crutches these days, too!
Right knee finally gave out – oh, well!

Julia, I'm with you for summer foods and your watermelon card and technique are awesome! My six year old great niece visited for a week and she has boundless energy. I thought my knee was gone after the jump rope contest. Luckily advil helped. Please take care!
Darling food card my friend. Hope your knee heels fast!
Nicely done card…with a really neat technique! So perfect to use for the watermelon image! Hope your knee is doing better!
