It’s time for another Timeless Tuesday challenge. This time the Timeless Tuesday Blog team paired up with the Design team to show you samples for the soon to be released Flourishes Wild For Watermelon set. Isn’t it gorgeous? I say “SWEET (Action)” all the time….the sentiment is perfect for me!

This weeks challenge hostess is Tammy. She challenges you to use fruit on your card. Either as an image or on paper. Create a card, post it on your blog or an online gallery and link it over at the Flourishes Blog for a chance to win a $10 gift code. Make sure to comment on each Timeless Tuesday designer to be eligible to win.

For my card base I cut  and embossed a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock that had been folded in half with the largest of the Lattice Rectangle Nestabilities die. Another single Lattice Rectangle was cut out of the same cardstock. The big watermelon image was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored with Copic Markers (Watermelon: YG00, YG01, YG03, YG17  Prismacolor Pencil Olive Green (911)   Watermelon slice: YG0000, YG00, R22, R24, R29   Leaves: YG61, YG63, YG67    Ground: E30, E31, E33, E35  Prismacolor Pencil Sepia (948)). The sky was airbrushed with Copic Marker B12.

Black Gingham Ribbon from May Arts was threaded through the lattice border and tied around the upper part of the layer after part of a Want2Scrap Rhinestone swirl was adhered to the upper right hand side. A Recollection Rhinestone brad finishes off the bow. The stamped layer was adhered to the card base.
