It's Wednesday...are you ready? Here we go....
Today's share is a card using two of the wonderful new In Colors. I love the Watermelon Wonder as it adds that pop of summer to everything.
I have a recipe for this KISS card (keep it simple SILLY ) at the end of the pictures. I love these sketch challenges as they help with the creative process. Please put them to use, we love to see your take on this as well.
A closer view to see the Stylish Stripes embossing on the Watermelon. I think it pulls the all the stripes of the DSP together.
And peeking out from behind the striped designer series paper is a small bit of Go Wild in the shade of Tip Top Taupe.
I used some Mossy Meadow for contrast and stamped some "splotches" from the Awesomely Artistic Stamp Set in that colour on the sentiment piece.
Sneak peek at the inside.....
And onto the sentiment inside, I love this one a lot.
And just because I thought I should step it up a bit......a new picture with some embellishments.
And here we go...close up. I am really working on the photo thing for all of you, hope it shows. Our Yoda gave me lots of pointers.
I am so loving the flowers of the new In Colors. They sure add that little bit of sass.

Watermelon Wonder...5-1/4 x 3-1/4
Go Wild DSP... 4-1/4 x 2, scrap for inside banner

Well done Shelagh! Love seeing the way you stepped up the first version of your card, but the quick ad easy first card is great too. I am loving Watermelon Wonder too!
