C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #786 - AG/Summer or Vacation/Holiday

 Hey friends - guess what?  It's my birthday today!  Double nickels, as my friend Tim says. 55. Moving closer to 60 now than 50... only slightly terrifying. hee hee In true Leo fashion, I celebrate my birthday most of the month so I'll be having a fun weekend full of a seafood boil, friends, family, and fun! :)

We have a new challenge for you today at:

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Anything Goes or Summer/Holiday

Our sponsor this time is:

The image I used is called Sweet As Melon:

I created my background by spraying Cocktail Party Mica Spray Stain on a piece of watercolor paper. Once dry, I applied Walnut Stain Distress Ink through my Diamond Circle stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use code JennFan10 for 10% off) because I thought the pattern reminded me of the watermelon seeds! I printed out the image, colored with Copics and Stickles and used a die cut to cut out, then attached with foam tape after sponging the edges with the Walnut Stain ink. I added a little sentiment from my stash.
