My SC80 Fresh Fruit Welcome card. I just had to have this set when it retired. Nice to play with something besides flowers. Roxie your sketch was perfect for the large pineapple. Enjoy, Nancy

Gorgeous coloring, Nancy. I can't remember the name right now, but another member did some framed artwork with the Fresh Fruit which was pretty cool, too.

The trick to coloring my pineapple..........TP mostly. But I started by inking with B. Banana, rock and rolled on Summer Sun ink pad then sponge daubered more SS and BB. Then it needed more.........so I TP'd with Ruby Red and added SSun chalk around the edge with a q-tip. Finally.....I got the look I wanted. The BG of the main image I just TP's with different colors. You just dab and smear until you get the look you want. Thanks for your comments girls, Nancy

You did such a nice job with the coloring of your pineapple, Nancy! It just glows with warmth while at the same time being so soft and dreamy looking. All the colors on this are really nice, and the sketch is perfect for this large image.
