The Summer of Color: Week Six!

Welcome to Week Six of The Summer of Color 2: Ice Cream Inspirations!

Can you believe that we're already on our last Flavor of the Summer? And really, what's more appropriate than "Watermelon Ice" to end our colorful play date together . . . . I can't wait to see what you do with the bold red sherbet as inspiration . . . .

Speaking of inspiration, if you haven't done so already, I would love it if you added your Summer of Color pieces to our ever-growing pool of fabulousness on Flickr. It's so exciting to see all of our work featured in one place, and with over 700 photos (and counting!) shared between this year and last, it's a place we can continue to visit time and again.

I'd also like to take a moment to thank you all for your time and dedication to this event. I'm continually impressed by your talents and creativity and am honored to be among such a beautiful group of artists. Thank you for sharing your love and enthusiasm on Flickr, Facebook and here. It's been a sweet ride, all because of you!

Now, let's get this Watermelon Hop going!
As of today, you may link your artwork inspired by Watermelon Ice. To do so, simply copy and paste the direct link from your blog or Flickr page to the widget below. You will have the entire week - until Sunday July 22nd (noon, Pacific Standard Time) - to get it in. Those who link their Watermelon Ice pieces will also be in the running for this pretty prize:

{3 pages of clip art from the TJ Designs Storybook Collection, 2 Martha Stewart craft paints in red and black, a Faber-Castell Stampers Big Brush Pen in red (now that looks cool ;), a Sakura clear glitter Gelly Roll pen (from the Ice Cream Smooth collection - a personal favorite), a pack of General's Layout pencils in Black Ebony, 2 4 x 4 canvas panels, a 9 x 12 pad of cold press watercolor paper and lastly, a hefty sprinkling of Swarovski crystals in red, black, iridescent and clear.}

Ready to Link Your Watermelon?

Okay, here we go. . .  

Oh! And what about our Wild n' Reckless Winner?

A lotta people wanted this one, but the Random Number Generator picked:

JEN

(Please note: Mister Linky was being ornery this week and would not let me adjust a couple of links I need to. The numbers here reflect the true count.)

Congratulations Jen! Please email me your address and I'll get your Wild n' Reckless right out.

And Now What?

Thanks for asking! Actually, next week's a big one. We'll see you here next Monday (July 23rd) for our last Summer of Color 2: Ice Cream Inspirations post where I will reveal the Watermelon Ice prize winner, my personal art banner all strung up in a row, your Summer of Color 2 Artist Badge (Yes, it's true ;) and a little something else . . . . Do you know what it is? Do you think? Okay, maybe you can guess, but, but . . . see you then . . . .

Sweet creating,

Kristin xo
