Work of Art: Watermelon Card

I LOVE this Work of Art stamp set. I’ve seen it used in so many ways and each time it’s brillant and exciting to see. For this card I used it for a fun watermelon card and the anticipation of Summer! Who doesn’t like watermelon or Summer?

HERE’S WHAT TO DO:

CARD STOCK< PAPER & CUTTING DIMENSIONS:

1.  Cut an 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Watermelon Wonder and score it at 4-1/4″
2.  Cut a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White and 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″
3.  Cut a 5″ x 3-3/4″ piece of Designer Series Paper

STAMPING:

1. On the smaller Whisper White piece, stamp the curve from the Work of Art stamp set in Strawberry Wonder Ink.
2. Clean the stamp and stamp it along the bottom of the watermelon using Always Artichoke Ink.
3. Stamp the heart stamp in Watermelon Wonder randomly all over the layer background.

FINISHING UP:

1. Punch out the smallest flower using the Blossom Bunch Flower Punch out of Basic Black card stock. Cut the flower petals up and use them for the watermelon seeds.
2. Before adhering the card stock layers together tie a piece of Always Artichoke ribbon around the top layer. Tie a pretty bow as well.

These would be great to use for invitations to a Summer birthday party or Summer BBQ.

Lake what you love and love what you make!

Embrace the day,
