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!
i love the watermelon-inspired colors! your trio of buttons is my favorite touch :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colors - perfect watermelon colors and I agree with Elena, those buttons are wonderful, especially the dark pink!

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.)
ReplyDeleteYou're on a roll with the watermelon inspiration. I love the subway sentiment and how you used two colors of ink. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove the matching buttons with the ink colours- pretty card
ReplyDeleteSimply 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
ReplyDeleteVERY NICE LEIGH!!! I LIKE the little half circles on the sides too! :)
ReplyDeleteLove 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!
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever use of colors on the word stamp. Gorgeous!
