Here is my take on the sketch.  This sketch was like potato chips~ you can’t stop at just one.  I had to make myself stop at three.  But this sketch is one that I will revisit again and again.

 Photobucket

I used “Friendly Fruit” and even one of the “Timeless Texture” stamps to create my watermelon cards.  These 3 cards would be a cute little gift set to give to a friend. 

Photobucket

The watermelon were embossed in black and colored in with Tombow markers. Then I cut them out and popped them up on the card a bit.  These images are great weather or not you color them.  The pointillism gives these images depth, even if they aren’t colored in.  However if you do choose to color them the pointillism makes the coloring look that much more amazing.

Here are our Exciting new sets:

4X6 Fun Fruit

Photobucket

Friendly Fruit has the perfect combination of sentiments and images. Whether you want to design a card to encourage a friend, wish someone happy birthday, share exciting news, or make your honey smile on V-day, these are the stamps you are going to want to ink up. 

4X6 “Timeless Textures”

This stamp set will help you save time, money, and most importantly your sanity.  Ever need just one more piece of matching patterned paper for the right amount of layers? Or just a touch more texture, or color on your card?  Ink up this set and your problem will be solved.  Between the sheet music, and the seamless tiles, it will add the perfect touch to any and every project you can think of.  Photobucket
