It's Friday! And that means that today, I'm sharing a project that I've designed for Fresh Squeezed Stamps.
I made another card for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge -- Watermelon Wonder, which Fresh Squeezed Stamps is sponsoring.
I love watermelon! For me, watermelon equals summer. So I used the Subway Series: Summer stamp set to make my card.
I stamped my sentiment onto some woodgrain patterned paper using three shades of ink, attempting to mimic the colours of a watermelon. Then I punched some semi-circles from the sides, tied some twine and added some buttons. Then I adhered my panel to the card with some dimensional adhesive.
Thanks for looking!

Hi, Leigh! What a perfect summery card. I just ordered some FS stamps...largely influenced by you... and a subway series set should be coming to me shortly. :) I just love all the cards you've made using these stamps. (P.S. Thanks for your sweet comment.)
You're on a roll with the watermelon inspiration. I love the subway sentiment and how you used two colors of ink. Perfect!
Love the matching buttons with the ink colours- pretty card
Simply brilliant. Love the way you've used the stack of words to mimic how a slice of watermelon looks! Clever. And those three little buttons are perfect. Great card. Bev
VERY NICE LEIGH!!! I LIKE the little half circles on the sides too! :)
Love everything about this card! You very successfully, I might add, 'mimicked the wtermelon layers'! The buttons are perfect, and I really like the semi-circle puched sides! Great idea!
Such a clever use of colors on the word stamp. Gorgeous!
Very sweet card.
Perfect Leigh!! Love the colours, LOVE the buttons!
Leigh, this would be PERFECT to link up to CASual Fridays Button Challenge & An Inky Situation - Button Linky too.
