Sweet Life of Summer



Today I am serving some watermelon inspired by the inspiration photo at Jugs and using a sketch challenge for the design.  Watermelon stamp is from Repeat Impressions and the sentiment is from Flourishes, both stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Coloring was done with Copics and a Black Glaze pen (seeds).  I used Cuttlebug EF Gingham on the white background and red panel.  Red check was a digital paper that I printed.


Challenges:
Just Us Girls Challenge: # 299  Inspiration Photo.  I was inspired by the Red and White check tablecloth and the watermelon slices in the truck.
Just Add Ink: Challenge is a sketch
Sweet Stampin' Challenge: Theme is Red, Hot, Summer.  Hot summers bring thoughts of Cold Watermelon.
Simon Says Stamp: Monday Challenge is Summer

Can you believe July is here? 
Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa
