It’s officially Summertime. Finally! After the winter (and all the endless snow) we had this year, Summer couldn’t come soon enough. I love the smell of fresh picked basil, the sandal tan on my feet, blue hydrangeas growing in the yard, ice cream for dinner and watermelon at cookouts. Speaking of watermelon, I found this cute watermelon card on Pinterest:
I love the hardwood table and the “Sweet” bite. I used this card as my inspiration and designed my own version:
I kept the hardwood background, using the new Tip, Top Taupe paper and ink because I liked how the neutral (but not boring) background lets the watermelon shine. I wasn’t able to duplicate the bite because my layers were too thick for my punch, so I just left the slice deliciously whole. A folded paper doilies becomes a napkin and textured watermelon layers is easy by using two embossing folders and my trusty Big Shot. How about those seeds? I used the heart punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and cut it in half. Pretty sweet! This card is sure to bring someone a smile.
Coming Soon!
