FTTC178 "Savoring Summer"

Helloooooooo! It's Timeless Tuesday Challenge time (#FTTC178) and I'm so excited about today's challenge from Amanda.....it's to make a favorite summer (or any other season) recipe on a card decorated with your favorite Flourishes stamps! I LOOOOOVE making recipe cards!!

As luck would have it, a friend of mine just introduced me to this "fire and ice salsa" recipe that I definitely wanted to make into a recipe card. It's salsa made with watermelon instead of tomatoes. Maybe you've heard of it, but I hadn't. I tried it and oh my word, it's really good!!!

I used my Wild For Watermelon set (oh yes, how I love this set!), stamped the images on classic ivory CS, colored all the watermelon with Copics (Poppy Collection, Green Grass Collection, W1, W3, and R59), cut out the four designer watermelon slices with scissors and popped them up on foam tape, added some crochet cotton lace in between the pattern papers, and added some Kaiser pearls. My recipe card measures 5" x 7" and I store my cards in plastic sheet protectors within a three-ring binder.

If you're looking for a recipe template, Flourishes has two in their downloads section. Check it out by clicking HERE.

Be sure to stop by and see what the rest of the Timeless Tuesday ladies have created for you today..... Allison, Amanda, Cindy, Heather, Makiko, Mona, Jan Marie, and our July Guest Designer Patti Gilliam.


Have an awesome Tuesday!
