Happy Monday to you! I have a card today that speaks "summer" in the most refreshing way. I made it specifically so I could play along in the Double D Mason Jar Challenge. I have several stamps that could play in the challenge, but glad I remembered this Graciellie digi that's been printed up and sitting in my digi box for... oh, I don't know... maybe a year or so, sheesh. It's called Mason Jar Watermelon.
It's just a fun stamp you don't have to get too serious about. I colored it with Copic markers and added a designer paper border with real ric rac. I'm super pleased about that! For embellishment I have some cute flower sequins that match the flower print in the ric rac.
Pictured below is the pretty mood board for the Double D Challenge. They always inspire me! I'm also sharing at Darnell's NBUS challenge because of the not-yet-used Mason jar digi.
I've been enjoying a little card making the last few days, even though my new desk is not yet put together. It will be soon. First I have to clear the floor so we can work on it. So many things to do!
Stay safe and well, please. You are loved.
Stamps: Graciellie Designs Mason Jar Watermelon digi, Power Poppy sentiment (retired) Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Super Smooth Solar White, My Mind's Eye 'Notable' designer paper Ink: Printer, Memento Tuxedo Black Coloring: Copics Other: Ric rac, Queen & Co flower sequins

What a great Digi stamp, love the summer theme with the watermelon and iced drink ♥
What a great image, Leslie! And that concoction in the jar looks good enough to drink. The mix of colors is so pretty and the entire card is a winner.
Adorable project using this fab winning image and gorgeous card design...x
Oh girl...I love this. I don't think I have a jar anywhere in my stash. That is probably something I need to remedy! Love your card; the colors are amazing!
This is spectacular, Leslie! Your coloring always amazes me. I love the shading of your mason jar drink and the slice of watermelon. Beautiful design! Hope all is well with you and your family!
Oh I'll take one... Very nice. I should do something with a mason jar. Brain percolating... Have a great day
Sweet!! :) Adorable card Leslie. LOVE that refreshing summer drink in the mason jar. The watermelon slice looks yummy! Adorable patterned paper that is perfect with the ric rac. xx
This is fabulous, Leslie! I don't know what I like best---the refreshing look of the drink so beautifully colored or the fun rickrack that matches the sequins. Everything comes together so well on your card and says that you must have had fun creating it!
You had me at watermelon!!! Love your delightfully colored watermelon and card! totally charming!
Leslie wonderfully colored. Makes me want one to just sip and enjoy the sunshine with. Glad you got back in your craft room if only to grab a quick digi and some color.
a rainbow of deliciousness, Leslie! I thoroughly enjoy using "schtuff" that has long been neglected. Your card is beautiful, sweet, and oh-so-refreshing! hugs, de

What a great card, Leslie! Love the rick-rack. I can't wait to see your new desk, and I'm glad you've had a little time to play.
This is so refreshing, Leslie! That watermelon is making my mouth water and the icy drink looks so refreshing! Perfect for this hot summer weather!
See you knew there would be a challenge coming eventually where your mason jar would come in handy :) That drink looks cool and refreshing for a summer time drink! Excellent coloring and I so love the matching of the ric rac with the flowers, cute touch!! So fun and pretty!
Such a fun and refreshing watermelon Summertime drink so softly colored, Leslie. I never would have guessed it was a digi image...I know, I have said that before:-) You finished your card with your sweet embellishments...love it! TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Such a lot of interest on this card, love it. Good luck with putting your desk together, those things are always a challenge xx
Your digi card is so cute! I'm already to sit down and have a sip! Of course I love the ric rac which just sets it off! I have a card sitting in my desk half finished but decided to play with Jennifer today. She has a birthday party next week and wanted to make a card. Such fun!
I LOVE your beautiful mason jar full of summer goodness! The ric rac is the perfect touch and a great use of it, what an awesome card this is! Thank you for joining our challenge at Double D, we miss you being on the team!
What an adorable, summery image, and of course colored to perfection by my favorite colorer! :-) I just made up that word, apparently, because it's highlighted to show me I did not use the correct spelling. ;-)
Oooh my mouth is watering! This is beautifully designed and your coloring is fabulous! Love the ric rac border and Designer Paper underneath! That jar looks like something you would find at a lovely outdoor summer garden party...hope I'm invited! Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Double D, Mason Jar Challenge.

Wonderful card Leslie... The details ad the added extras are all fabulous! Here it's been cold and wet - still is! So it's cups of tea right now
