Playing with Summer Foods - AAA Cards

What's your fav summer food?  One of mine has got to be watermelon.  

Love it!  

I've got a card with a watermelon slice on it today for you . . . 

It's a seedless watermelon - can you tell?  All the seedless watermelons 

I get have these little white "seeds" anyway (why do they call

 it seedless if it has these white seeds?).  I may never know.

Anyway - at AAA Cards, the challenge this week is for Summer Foods.  

Please be sure to join us.  I cannot wait to see what you have to share!

On my watermelon rind, I actually used a technique called "rocking".  

I began with the lightest green I have (Pistachio Pudding (#131177),

then took the same stamp and rocked the back of it 

(where the back of the rind would be) in Wild Wasabi (#109014).  

Finally, to get the dark green outside of the rind, I rocked the 

stamp in Garden Green.  Then I laid it on the card stock.  

See the different colors?

To make the tasty eating part of the melon, I stamped off the 

Strawberry Slush (#131178) once each time before stamping 

on the card stock.

The card stock is Whisper White (#100730) 

and the Stamp Set is Work of Art (#134111).

Of course, those seeds are Basic Pearl Jewels (#119247).

Fun card, and a great challenge.  See you there!

Just wanted to share that I'm rockin' crutches these days, too!  
Right knee finally gave out - oh, well!

Thanks so much for stopping by ~~ Happy Stampin' and Scrappin'!
