Stampin' Up! Watercolor Melon for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came! We have a sketch challenge today and here is what I created for our hop...

Today is the last day of Sale-A-Bration so I thought I would use the Watercolor Melon Stamp Set for the first and last time as a demonstrator! I can still use it any time I want as just a stamper!

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

My card base is Basic White 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2".

I cut a piece of Garden Green Cardstock 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" and stamped it with the leaves from Watercolor Melon, tone on tone. I did it first and second generation. Next I ran it through my embossing machine with the Softly Sophisticated 3D EF which goes away after today.

Next I cut a strip of Sweet Sorbet Cardstock 2" x 5 3/8" and did the reverse effect of the 3D EF after I had stamped the seeds from Watercolor Melon using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.

On scrap Basic White, I stamped the whole watermelon in Garden Green Ink. I punched it out with the Modern Oval Punch. I had enough room on the scrap to stamp the watermelon slice with Garden Green ink and Sweet Sorbet ink. I used the single seed stamp instead of the 3 seed stamp. I punched that out with the Modern Oval too.

The "Just a Note" is from the Go To Greetings Stamp Set and is punched with the Dual Oval Punch.

The watermelon slice and sentiment are adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For the inside...

I used the same stamp sets as the front and the same inks.
