One in a Melon Card

Here is a cute and simple card I made in quick time. I find myself drawn to CAS cards more and more often. 

I'm sharing this card with the following challenge blogs:

Double Trouble - Challenge #111    (use Kraft/brown bag paper, dots and/or stripes)

Heart 2 Heart - Splatter It   (use splatters)

The Crafter's Cafe  (use spots or stripes)

I started with a card from our White Cards and Envelopes Value Pack. This is a must have item! You never know when you need to make a card on the quick and this helps keep you ready!

I splattered the card front with Shimmer Brushes (Red, Green Apple) then started building my layers. The watermelon was stamped with Exclusive Inks (Candy Apple, Green Apple) and cut out. It's popped up on some Thin Foam Tape to give some dimension to the overall look. 

I cut the tag from Kraft cardstock and layered it with some White Daisy Cardstock so the melon would stand out more. The sentiment is stamped in Exclusive Inks (Candy Apple, Green Apple) with stamp rolling for the red part. Onyx Pearls were used for the seeds.

A piece of Shimmer Trim (Clover) adds a nice bit of sparkle. The edges of the white layer were inked with Candy Apple ink to define that layer from the others. 

Finally a large Black Dot was placed at the top of the tag tying in with the black seeds.
