I made this for Tricia's DTGD challenge. We'd love for you to join in & for all the details go to the Dare to Get Dirty Forum ..but you'll need to be a Fan Club member. It's sooooo easy! this is also for today's Free For All Challenge..I think watermelon is a good way to cool off.
To make my watermelon card, the big watermelon was stamped, colored & over stamped. I had the white die cut layer already there w/ the rectangle window cut out, so I made a black frame layer for it & attached it over the image. Parts of the two greeting were used and split up like you see. The checkerboard was stamped directly on the white layer & the fussy cut watermelon border was added on top.
I added some ants here & there because what's a picnic w/o ants, right? I added a little black glaze pen to the watermelon seeds to make them shiny.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

My mouth is watering! So many awesome and delightful details. I love the black and white colour combined with the red of the watermelons. Love that watermelon border and also the darling ants (although not so darling in real life)

What a fun and playful card, Julie! I love how you've combined black and white with the watermelon red as an accent. It's created a fantastic contrast.
