Hi crafty friends, Tina here and we are getting ready for Summer with this fun card featuring the Juicy Watermelon Dies set. My idea for this design was to expand the colors of the watermelons through the entire card. Browsing my stash, I came across the Fabulous Flamingos set and realized these cuties were the perfect match!
To start, I die cut the amazing Botanical Backdrop twice from white heavy card stock and colored one of them with blending brushes and Distress Oxide inks Bundled Sage (one of my favorites!) and Rustic Wilderness. Then, I glued this piece on top of the white one for extra sturdiness.
I also inked up a white background panel with a striped stencil from my stash and the same oxides. For dimension I added a few green splatters with a small paint brush. The background and layered frame were adhered to a white card base.
The Juicy Watermelon Dies are very versatile and of course I also had to
include a slice with the cute little hearts. I kept the color scheme going with
the same green oxides and added Abandoned Coral as my red shade. For the black
seeds, I used a Copic marker.
I selected two cuties from the Fabulous Flamingos set and colored them with my Copics in matching coral colors. White gel pen details make the images pop even more. My sentiment was taken from the Radiant Plumeria set and I just love that large ‘Summer’ die cut combined with the greetings message. Both were stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.
After placing the juicy watermelons inside the botanical frame, I added the adorable flamingo’s and the sentiment. As a final touch, I sprinkled a few Iridescent Jewels.
I had a lot of fun creating this sweet card and I hope to see your creations soon! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!
