with this mouth watering photo.
I'm afraid watermelon isn't on my mind at present
(not at 4c and my wood fire burning nicely)
(not at 4c and my wood fire burning nicely)
but it didn't stop me finding a perfectly suitable
piece of DP in my stash to make my 'Sweet' card.
I simply cut the dp on an angle added it to a
mat and card stock to match.
The sentiment is from Pink & Maine.
The Sweet stamp was heat embossed
with TH Worn Lipstick.
Added some coloured circles inking the
rubber end of a pencil and finished with
variegated cotton.

Love reading your comments.
Definitely not 'watermelon' weather here either Ina, but your card certainly brings a cheery note to a Winter's day!
ReplyDeleteIt's watermelon weather here, SS....90F (32C) and I love it! Your card is a delight to look at as it's full of cheer and sweetness! (just like yourself!)
ReplyDeleteYour patterned paper is perfect and I love how you cut it on an angle....I also love those dots - they add so much to your pretty card design!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun colorful card Ina, I love that paper!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Tammy
You sure captured the essence of the photo. Lucky you to have the perfect paper. Love the idea of adding the dots with a pencil and how you positioned the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteIt's not often I can say is warm in Scotland and today is one of those days...except of course as I speak it's just starting to rain...Sorry its only 4C your end x Such a fun card today and great find with the DP x Thanks for sharing x
ReplyDeleteWell, even if it is not watermelon weather there it still is a fabulous card design. I love all the pretty elements you added to it.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness Ina, I have that exact paper and I could have used it for my card! Darn! Your bold sentiment really makes for a nice punch! Great card!
ReplyDeleteWhat perfect patterned paper and I love your great sentiment!
ReplyDeleteThis is totally sweet! Love your dp on the angle and so cool using the pencil eraser for the dots!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect summer celebration card Ina. Love it! It makes me smile to think of you cosy by a fire when you have made this - just like me making Christmas cards at the height of summer lol!

ReplyDeleteOk, so you may be freezing your butt off, but this card should melt that cold weather fast! Absolutely adorable card!
ReplyDeleteLike I said to Aileen, so sorry you aren't in the summer season. But, you managed to capture the warmth and fun of the season in this beauty. Great card!

I love how you added the pencil dots to accent that wonderful DSP, Ina.
ReplyDeleteWoooo! I can see if you have a fire burning that watermelon would not be on your mind, but you'd never know it by this sweet design! I love it, especially the separation of the sentiment! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteSorry I didnt get here before to comment on your wonderful card Ina, I really love it. So full of summer, I love it.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm sure watermelon is NOT available in your neck of the woods right now. Do you even have it there? I love what you have done with this photo challenge, your card is perfect. Super cute!
