The theme for this week’s Global Design Project is fruit, and I decided to create some pink grapefruit. The Sweet Citrus Stamp Set and Hybrid Embossing Folder are great for making realistic looking fruit.

Pink Grapefruit

I “stamped off” the fruit in Flirty Flamingo, making it lighter, and the skin in Daffodil Delight. Then, I used the Hybrid Embossing folder for texture, the Sweet Citrus Dies for cutting, and placed them on Dimensionals.

The leaves were stamped in Mossy Meadow, cut with their die, and glued to the grapefruit.

For the Basic White Cardstock background (4″ X 5 1/4″), I added texture with Thick Basic White Cardstock cut with a Chic Die. I love this mat, even though I had to do a little extra poking to remove all the small pieces.

“Sending you a big squeeze” is an apropos sentiment in the Sweet Citrus Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink, used a Something Fancy Die for cutting, glued it to the grapefruit slice, and attached it with Dimensionals.
