This week our theme is
"Hey Fruity"
Don't ask me...I just work here. But, for today's challenge, make whatever suits your fruity fancy as long as it's got fruit on it somewhere, or has fruity colors. Come play along for your chance to win some super prizes!!
Our first sponsor this week is our own
The prize from Kenny is the winner's choice of 5 digis.
And our second sponsor is
who doesn't LoVe ribbons? Iknowright?
I got a little silly with my project. Looking at it now, I'm wondering if I'm gonna ruffle some feathers out there. This was not my intent. I just wanted it to be a HAPPY, SILLY card. So, PLEASE...don't leave comments about how I'm making fun of people with disabilities or stereotyping people of color with regard to having an affinity for large ovoid fruits. Thank you! (hee hee hee).
That said, I used this really cute "Tug Of War" digi stamp from Kenny K. It has SO MANY possibilities as to what could be at the other end of that rope. For today's card, it is a giant, genetically-enhanced watermelon--somehow a cantaloupe just would NOT have worked (besides, I don't know how to draw a cantaloupe). I figure when these boys are finished with it...they can use it as a canoe! And FYI...I did a little magic in Photoshop and added the additional ropes around that ginormous melon...because one tiny rope at the bottom didn't seem...adequate for the job.

Love starting my day out with a laugh and this one gave me a big one. Your sentiment is hilarious and so clever :D I'm a retired special education teacher and my feathers certainly didn't get ruffled. Beautiful colouring and design, as always. So fun!
ReplyDeleteHahaha - definitely made me chuckle. Always in awe of how that twisted mind of yours works, but that's probably why we have been bestees forever now! Love the design and your melon rocks!
