•   Cucumber Crush base card: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
•   Designer Series Paper:  4" x 5 1/4"

 Instructions:

• Stamp flower on Watercolor Paper using White Craft Ink.  Cover with White Embossing Powder and emboss using the Heat Tool.
• With the Watermelon Wonder stamp pad closed, squeeze the lid on to the stamp pad inside.  This allows you to pick up ink on the top of the inside case to create a palette. 
• Color the flower using your Aqua Painter to pick up Watermelon Wonder ink from the top of the stamp pad case.  Work slowly to get a wide variety of light and dark color within the small petal areas of the flower.  Let dry.
• Color the stem the same way using Mint Macaron ink ~ lightly. 
• Assemble base card.  Add DSP.
• Add Dimensionals to the Watercolor Paper and adhere to the front of the card.

Nacho Average Challenge #154

Welcome to another great challenge from the Nachos!

For some reason, this was not one of my favorite combinations, but I accepted the challenge! :-)

I used my favorite set (at least this week!),  Vintage Leaves (#138802).  It's great because it has a coordinating set of framelits (Leaflets, #138283).  AND, you can purchase them as a bundle and save 15%!  woohoo!!!  Watch for more cards with this set -- it really is a versatile set!  Plus, you can't have too many leaves!!!! :-)
