I wanted a mottled, realistic look to my watermelon slices so started with watercolor paper by Ranger. I smooshed 3 distress oxide colors (Abandoned Coral, Candied Apple, Barn Door) on my glass work mat, spritzed with water then picked up the colors using a wet brush. The rind was created by brushing Mowed Lawn distress oxide ink stripes over Sour Apple cardstock (MFT). I used Granny Apple Green ink by SU for the background stamp and was disappointed that it shows up like a darker Wild Wasabi or Garden Green shade. Very disappointed that I spent money on this ink that isn't true to the package color!
STAMPS: All Lined Up Background, Sweet Sentiments (MFT).
PAPER: Sweet Tooth, Sour Apple (MFT); True Black (PTI); Ranger watercolor CS.
DIES: Watermelon Slice, Stitched Basic Edges, Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics by MFT.

This is so fun, Wanda...your watermelons look real, and your plaid is amazing! I am surprised that your Granny Apple Green isn't true to the package....maybe you should contact your demo and get a replacement. Mine is a wee bit darker than the label, but it's still pretty bright!
This is wonderful, Wanda! I love the slices of watermelon! I am waiting for that background to come back in stock, too! Fantastic card!
