JUGS Word Week #774 -- FRUIT

 
The graphic for JUGS Word Week #774 caught my eye. FRUIT! I happened to be
looking through my Waffle Flower inventory and spotted some products that
have never been opened. I seem to be finding that a lot lately.
 
 

 I watched the talented Caly Person make a couple of fruity cards and decided 
on a watermelon card.
 
 

 Watermelon happens to be a favorite in our household and we are lucky
to have some locally grown ones that will make their debut soon.

I inked up some Watermelon card stock from C&9th with Poppy ink that
faded to the rind. I followed Caly's idea of a two toned rind and adhered some
black seeds. I finished off the card with a white embossed sentiment.
 

 I do wish it read "you make my TUMMY smile", but HEART was close enough.
I was also going to trim the card into a pie shaped "slice" as Caly mentioned
but it was an afterthought that would have had me splitting seeds.
Maybe next time.

Thanks for stopping by!

Edited to add: My card was chosen as the Winner of the Week! I'm so
honored! Thank you JUGS!
