I have tried this technique in the past and really love how it turns out. I find it a little bit tricky when I don't start my scoring lines at the edge of the cs but I got it : )
I colored my image using a recent MIM tip by sponging my rind and leaves with different colored ink.
My image and sentiment are from a Papertrey Ink set called Scent-imentals. This sweet set has been on my wish list for a long time and when I read that it was "going to the Vault" I knew I had better not wait any longer.
I stamped the image directly on the face of my card and then fussy cut out the watermelon and leaves. There is a die for cutting these out but I wanted a closer cut. I popped up the watermelon and added the extra leaves on top of the stamped leaves only putting a dab of glue so the leaves have more dimension.
Please be sure to watch Laurie's MIM video HERE and then consider stopping by Laurie's blog - she always has the greatest tips to share like today when she uses Press N Seal to aid her gluing small pieces to her card! Brilliant : )
Have a wonderful day friends and thanks a bunch for stopping by.

Patti, I love everything about this card!! The way you placed the score lines just around the image. The coloring of the watermelon and leaves is so realistic. And you picked the perfect sentiment too!
Patti, I love your lines, they add so much to this card...the different lengths and widths is perfect!!
Patti I really love this card. Clean crisp and delicious! Makes me want watermelon. You did a great job and I think the fussy cut was a perfect idea. Too much white trim would have taken from its spotlight! You inspire me!
I love how this turned out, the score lines make a lovely detail. I love using score lines but have never used them like this, thanks for the inspiration x
Oh Patti this is too "sweet" I love the images and the technique. I have never tried it before so off I go to score something :)
Beautiful card, I love how your scored lines frame your image. I'm definitely gonna give that a go :)
fab CAS card
Clever how your score lines don't go all the way to the edges...I would have to practice quite a lot to do that. Such a clean and very pretty card.
Love love this CAS, scored creation!
Patti, this is just so adorably sweet!
I love your take on the MIM.
This is adorable and your score lines are perfect. I always forget about this technique and need to use it more often especially when I have a CAS card that I feel needs just a little something else.
love the look of your card! it looks so pretty with the different score lines and the sweet stamped image
what a fabulous technique that is quick, easy and mess free. Love how you paired it with the watermelon. LOVE THIS!
Love your uneven-length score lines! I'll have to try some "not to the edge" lines next time. Beautiful watermelon too.

This is AMAZING!! I LOVE the scoring on this that does not reach the edge. I stink at this. I also love the way you created that fun watermelon. Fabulous design!!
I love the simplicity of this Patti!! Your scored lines are incredible and so is your inking of the melon. BEAUTIFUL card!!
This is such a clean and fresh card. I swear I can smell and taste watermelon when I look at it. Your score lines are brilliant. What a great design. I need to watch this video, clearly.
Wow...this is one sweet card. I love your incredible watermelon, it looks simply fabulous on your card and the clean look too, just amazing!
Wow! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing and inspiring with us all! Happy April!

Oh my...what a fabulous card Patti!! Absolutely LOVE how you did your score lines and this whole card is just CAS perfection...love it!! :0)
This could not be more beautiful, Patti! Oh my gosh is simply stunning and oh so elegant! I love that the lines do not go all the way to the edge, well done again! Love the watermelon and beautiful vines....so pretty!
Oh Myyyy, Patti, I simply love how you scored around the stamped image on your card! It is a stunning CAS design. And, now I want watermelon :-)
What a beauty of a card! Colors, scoring, dimension all are great. I too have the Scent-imentals, because I fell in love with them, but haven't used them yet...Gotta change that after seeing your card today!
Beautiful card!!
Gorgeous card! Love all the details: the coloring, the popped up watermelon, the dimensional leaves and your beautiful scoring!
beautiful card and I really like the way the score lines are different sizes.
This card is just stunning in it's simplicity. Love the way you added your score lines, with just the right pop of colours. Fabulous card!
Wonderful score lines! They really help a small stamp be the focal point, great idea!
Wow, Patti! This is one of the sweetest cards I ever did see. So perfectly simple and effective. Wow!
WOW, Patti, love the white space with the different widths and lengths of score lines to ground your lovely watermelon and leaves. Very striking and of course, sweet card!
I love your scoring around the die cut. What a perfect way to showcase the image!
The perpendicular lines here are amazing! And to set them off with the sweet fruit is even better. Fantastic card!
Wow, love your random and simple score lines!
Oh, my you got your creative shoes on this week! What a fabulous card with your beautiful sponging on the die cuts! I don't remember this set but it looks like a great one.
Oh, love! What a perfect card!
LOVE this! Might use your sketch as an inspiration :)
Wow--one of my favorites for the challenge, Patti! Your lines are wonderful!
