One In A Melon

It's Summer!!!!!

When I think of summer, the first thing that pops into my head is the idea of cold crisp watermelon slices during the heat to cool you down.  At least that is what I was thinking of when I made drew out this image.  My favorite time of the year is the summer.  I have so many fond memories of the beach and vacationing and thought that I would share a little something from those days with you.

Why?  Because you are One In A Melon!

Okay bad pun, but either way you will find the supplies you need to make this quick and easy card below.
Picture
  • Image: Watermelon Pop
  • Digital Paper: Hello Summer
  • Black cardstock 5 1/2" x 4 1/4:
  • A2 Card Base
  • Copic Markers
  • Nuvo Dots Carnation Pink
  • Tacky glue
  • 3D Foam Dots

Summer Coloring Fun!

The one thing I will say about this card is that it's such a simple and fun card to make. even though It looks like only three colors I actually used a total of 11 colors!

Watermelon flesh: R34, R14, R35, R29

Watermelon rind: YG11, YG13, YG05, YG17

Watermelon seeds:  C6, C9, C10

Stick:  E31, E35, E17


Lets make our slice!

Picture
Here you see that I already have all my items set out an prepared for making.  I used the Hello Summer digital paper pack for my printed squares.  I cut then so that the One In A Melon print measures 5" x 3 3/4".  The small of the two I used the light blue water color pint and cut it down to 3 3/4" x  2 1/2".
We will glue down all of our rectangle pieces to our card base. 
Picture
1. Glue down the black card stock.
Picture
2. Glue down the melon print as an inset.
Picture
3 Glue down the smallest of the three so that is slightly askew.
Here you see how the final base will look.   I didn't add any height to the base pieces because I planned to ad dimension to the watermelon and sentiment pieces. 
Picture
1. Add 3D foam to the melon pop and alight it so that it is titled along with the light blue paper. 
Picture
2. Add 3D foam to the sentiment and place below the Melon Pop.
For a final touch I added Nuvo Dots to to the upper right of the light blue printed card stock.  I didn't want to add too much more, but that did draw the eye over to the melon pop.  It also helped that  I created a break in the pattern paper by using a more solid print.

Fini!

I do hope that you enjoyed this simple yet fun card!  It's perfect for the summer time and to send off to someone you think is special.

I do hope you come back to visit.
