The colors are a little washed out in the scan, but it is so bright, cheery, and colorful in person.
The green galore cardstock pocket was first stamped in green galore (Linen Background), then white craft (Weathered Background), then versamark (Print Pattern). Then I put clear embossing powder over the whole thing and used my heat gun to emboss the print pattern.
The inside card's rind is done the same was as explained above. Then I layered a strip of white, a strip of torn pink passion, all of this on a regal rose cardstock base. The regal rose base is stamped in pink passion (Linen Background). Black seeds are hand drawn with a black pen.
The bite out of the corner was made with the daisy punch, punched a couple of times.
I am so tickled pink (pun intended) with how this turned out! The green looks so realistic with the white mottled veins and glossy embossing.

super cute! I'm sure the scan doesn't do it justice! Love how you created the outside of the watermelon! The clear embossing is a great idea to give it a nice shine!
