This big slice of watermelon practically has my mouth watering. Doesn’t it look yummy? This week I wanted to use this sweet, summer image (Watermelon Boy) for my Whimsy & Stars Studio project.
I colored this image a couple of weeks ago but didn’t have a chance to actually make the card. Somehow during that time, a dirty spot mysteriously showed up on my colored image. Since I didn’t have time to recolor it and I didn’t want to trim the image down too much more, I decided to use some of my washi tape stash to make some little flags to hide the spot.
I’m going to keep this short. I’m just getting back from visiting my aunt and uncle in Virginia. Elizabeth and I spent a long week end with them at their B&B on Smith Mountain Lake and had a wonderful time. (If you are looking for a beautiful vacation spot, you can check out their website at http://www.lovestoneinn.com/)
