Watermelon!

 

 

Did you know that yesterday was National Watermelon Day?

 

I made this card to play in two DTGD (Dare To Get Dirty) challenges over on Splitcoaststampers.

 

The paper weaving reminds me of a fence around a watermelon patch.

This was easy to make. Just emboss kraft cardstock with a wood grain embossing folder, then cut into strips and weave together.  You remember from elementary school...under, over, under,over!

 

Making the little watermelon slice was easy too.

cut a green circle. make rind marks around the edge with black chalk.

Then cut a white circle a little bit smaller and then a red circle a little bit smaller than the white one.

Chalk around the edge of the red circle.

Adhere these three layers together. Then cut in half.

Wa-la.. you've got two watermelon slices ...just add seeds with the brush end of a black marker.

 

Thanks for looking.

 

till next time,
