-I crinkled the flower to meet the challenge requirements.
-The red is just a bit brighter than real life; itÂ’s more the Carmine Red like the Prismacolor pencil color which I used on the watermelon with Apple Green.
-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps. Baby oil is a substitute for Gamsol or mineral spirits.
-1” and 1 ¼” square punch were used for the inside.

I love the red gingham paper used for the flower. This technique really makes the paper look like it is fabric. Love the watermelons~! I love how you always decorate the inside of the card to match, as well as the envelope!
