Watercolor Melon

Well, I fell off the posting wagon again. Sigh...I will keep trying but life just seems to happen and I don't always get to post. Since I last posted, Stampin' Up! has released the retiring lists. Watercolor Melon we knew would not return after Sale-a-bration but I have learned that Biggest Wish and Charming Sentiments are retiring at the end of April. Take a look and see if they are something you want to add to your stamping supplies.

Watercolor Melon was one of the choice you had during Sale-a-bration. My youngest daughter, Belle, love watermelon. I knew I would need this set for her to have and play with. She hasn't had any time to spend with me in my stamping room as of late but maybe this summer she can arrange a few hours to have fun stamping. 

I used Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green for these cards. I started this one by using a blending brush to add some Granny Apple to the background. The slices of watermelon are fussy cut after they were stamped.

Sale-a-bration is still happening! YEAH! I love getting extra freebies when I place my orders. One of the freebies that you might choose is the Watercolor Melon stamp set OR Most Adored designer series paper. I used both of these products on these pages.

I realize that it is not the right time of year for watermelon but this is one of the freebies that you could pick with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through the end of February. My youngest daughter, Belle, loves watermelon so I knew that this set would have to come home with me so that I could make her some fun cards.  I started with some thank you cards. 

This first one is a thick Basic White cardstock for the base. I added 1/4" strips of Parakeet Party, Melon Mambo, and Garden Green. This set is a two-step set meaning the melon part is a separate image from the rind and the seeds are another separate image.
