Sweet Watermelon Birthday

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!

I hope your week has gone well! I've felt like a one legged grape stomper this week (heard this recently & I'm still chuckling!). It does paint a picture, doesn't it?

Since I needed some birthday cards, I decided to take a break from all the Christmas cards we've showed you lately. Aren't these watermelon border and little ant w/ the watermelon images terrific? I love watermelon and coloring it is also fun. I've paired them with the checkerboard background and sweet birthday greeting. This is actually a 1 layer card. I die cut the main panel out of a 5.25 x 4 inch piece of white card stock and on the left over frame, I stamped the checkerboard bg. For the main panel, I masked off the area on the left and stamped the watermelon border. After masking it, U sponged  on several colors of green ink & stamped the lines bg w/ the darker greens, removed the mask and colored the watermelon. The watermelon & ant image was stamped on a scrap of white, colored and fussy cut. I trimmed the checkerboard around it a bit to fit in the space. I also used a SAMJ to rearrange the greeting a bit. Added some twine & a button then attached it back into the narrow checkerboard frame.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
