January 30, 2024
Today we're creating Another Cutie Using the Free Sale-a-bration Watercolor Melon Stamp Set. Thursday 2/25 we created the first card using this set...if you missed it..check it out here Click here to see first Watercolor Melon Card.
As we mentioned in the first post using this set...during January - February when you make a purchase of $50 (product) y0u can select a freebie from the SAB brochure (if you need to see this click on the Catalogs button). The Watercolor Melon stamp set is one of those freebies.
Here's our second card...
a bit closer...
When I think of summertime, picnics, & watermelon I think of gingham..so that sparked the use of this pattern in our background today. The Glorious Gingham design in Lemon Lime Twist was just the perfect pairing.
The card base was covered with a layer using the cane weave folder--again reminiscent of summer & wicker chairs in the backyard--another great pairing!
The end view of the melon was punched out with the Modern Oval punch the melon wedge was simply hand cut with the paper snips--a pretty simple cut.
The greeting is from Nature's Print (annual catalog) and was a relaxed sentiment that fits the mood of this card.
A couple of black dots finshed off the focal point coordinating with the black watermelon seeds.
