Happy New Year to everyone!!! Did you make any resolutions this year? I know I have a couple challenging ones to fulfill this year! Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s challenge is some fun watermelon pottery pieces!
WATERCOLOR MELONs
Of course…I had to use the Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Watercolor Melons, for today’s challenge! I went with bright Poppy Parade and Parakeet Party colors for mine!
-
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Poppy Parade cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A polka dot Poppy Parade 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 Brights 6×6 DSP was wrapped with tied Black & White Gingham Ribbon and added to the top left corner.
- The 2-3/4 x 2-3/4 square of Basic Black was adhered behind the 3-1/4 x 3-1/4 piece of Basic White cardstock in the upper left corner. The greeting from Ice Cream Swirl is stamped with Poppy Parade Ink in the upper right corner.
- The full watermelon image was stamped with Garden Green Ink on Parakeet Party cardstock and punched with the Modern Oval Punch.
- The watermelon slice was stamped with Poppy Parade Ink and Garden Green rind on Basic White cardstock, the rind colored with Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends for a little more color. The seeds were stamped with Memento Black Ink. It was hand-cut.
- The leaf was stamped with Garden Green ink on Basic White cardstock and hand-cut.
- All were assembled on the front of the Basic White panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of black Sparkle Dots were added to the background.
