It’s just around the corner!

Ahhhh..... summer will be here before we know it and... that means longer days, hotter nights, sitting under the stars and soaking up the nice weather.

What is more summer than watermelons?  So I pulled out the Wild For Watermelon set.  I stamped the wedge on Flourishes Classic White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink once on the main panel with the sentiment, then again on a scrap.  I colored both with Copics, cutting out the second one and popping it up over the first one on the main panel. 


I shaded around the wedge with Prismacolor pencils and oms and sponged the edge of the panel with Distress Ink in Antique Linen.  I did some wonky stitching, not necessarily intentional, lol, then added a button tied with some kraft jute as a simple embellishment.    The patterned paper is from MME Marketplace. 
If you need a little inspiration, it’s never far away with our design team’s creations! Hop on over and see…
