I thought it would be fun to create beach umbrellas from them and spread them out on a journal page to get the full effect.
I added the photo and words
And finished it off with some twine in the background to add a little more texture. The umbrellas were cut and sprayed with the die in place to give it the lines on the umbrella. The grapefruit was sprayed without the die in a pretty salmon color and then sponged with dye ink over the die to get the darker areas.
