What's better than a juicy watermelon over a red and white checkered table cloth to ring in warmer weather and signs of summer. When the days are longer than the nights and the heat and humidity are sinking in this juicy delight is sure to cheer up the day.
I previously made myself a goal to attempt some Blog Challenges over the course
of this Stampin' Up! year. Since making this goal in October, this is only my 2nd entry. Today I am participating in the Global
Design Project Challenge #426 which is a Sketch Challenge. Check out
the Challenge and play along here http://www.global-design-project.com/
Here I use the Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration set Watercolor Melon. I recently watched an older video from Erica Cerwin using a bar stamp to create gingham/checkerboard and noticed that there is a similar stamp in the SAB Detailed Dogwood. I used the black and white paper from the Zoo Crew dsp to accent the card. I dry embossed the sweet sorbet layer with the RainDrops Embossing Folder following a tip from Michelle Litweiller, doesn't it look just like watermelon seeds?! I stamped the watermelons in Old Olive on textered White Center Specialty Paper in Granny Apple Green and clear embossed on top. I love the texture the specialty paper adds to the watermelons. Isn't it great they have added so many stamps that coordinate with the modern oval punch!
I hope you enjoy this simple in color, simple
in stamping, but otherwise gorgeous card inspired by this sketch
challenge. Excited to participate for the second time.
