This is my card for yesterday's inspiration challenge. This is my story.
1. When I looked at the fabric, the fabric in the top righthand corner reminded me of flowers on a watermelon! That is what I was inspired by! Yikes!
2. I made this card for Ruth Whites. She is the mother of Maddy's best friend Judy (jovialjudy) who will be 89 in March. Ruth eyes have deteriorated to the point of being almost totally blind and last week she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. This is a very sad time for Judy.
3. I made this card with lots of texture....tried to use different layers, textures and etc. so that Ruth would be able to *feel* her card.
4. If you would like to send Ruth a card please send me or Maddy a pm for the address.

Love this bright, textured card. Cute watermelon. That is so thoughtful to make a card that she can feel. I see the photographer is on the job today. Glad he could help you talk a picture.

What an awesome inspiration card Cindy. Not only because your creativity and take on the inspiration is always wonderful, but because of all the tactile features for Judy's Mom. You rock girl!

Oh Cindy, this is just fabulous! I mean, ALL your cards are fabulous, but this is SO very special, with all the love and thought that went into this! Ruth will certainly love it and appreciate it, and she will be able to *see* it so well with all the texture that you've put in it. It's perfect!
I can't believe how you did that watermelon rind! You've practically got the juices running off the screen! Great layout and fabulous colors,too, I might add!
Thank you for this beautiful card! Love 'n hugggs,
