Flouishes Friday - Wild For Watermelon

Good morning!! For today's Flourishes Friday card I'm using one of the newest releases, Wild For Watermelon. It's another fabulous set by artist Marcella Hawley--I tell ya, she is da bomb when it comes to botanicals. 

So, for some reason, my DH and I have been craving watermelon this summer--maybe it's because it's been SO hot and dry around here? I dunno, but we've been getting some really good ones and thoroughly enjoying them. Early on, I remembered the watermelon rind pickles my mother used to make and decided to try a batch for myself. Soooooo, I did and they're everything I remembered, YUM! I decided a gift set with a jar of these pickles would be awesome!!

I stamped the image on Classic White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with the Poppy Collection, the New Leaves Collection, and the Fields Collection Copic markers. Then I cut it out with my Grand Calibur machine and my Labels Eighteen Nestabiliies.

And here's what I put on the top of the jar. Cute, huh??

Don't forget, today is the last day you can take advantage of the New Release Bundle, which gets you 10% off all the latest release sets.

OK, that's all I have for you today, but be sure to check out what the rest of the Senior Design Team has to show you.
