Take a Bite Out of Life - CAS224
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Loll Thompson

 For today's CAS challenge (CAS224 - colors: melon mambo, crumb cake, pear pizzazz, white).

I used a sweet digital image from Lisa Lara (What a Melon - Lisa's Doodley Doos) and paper pieced the watermelon. I used my new SU! gingham wheel stamp to create the inside of the watermelon. I sponged around each piece with the corresponding color of ink to give the image more depth. The "seeds" are cast-offs from a border die that I have coated with Crystal Effects.

Love this color combo - thanks for the fun challenge Denise!

For more details, check out my blog.

Loll, Your CAS color challenge card is absolutely delicious! I love the crumb cake main card with the colored watermelon. This image and sentiment by our very own Lisa Lara are so cute and creative. TFS
