Just Because Cards....Melon

Just Because Cards....HOW COOL IS THIS CART?? I recent acquired it and after being sick for a week I decided I needed to do something creative so I made this Thanks A Melon card. The paper is Stampin up...all of it! LOL The patterned paper is from the Raspberry Tart pack that has been discontinued. I did some sewing on the card *okie is so glad her machine is working again* and I really like the effect it gave. I think the card might be a little busy but over all I like it!

I debated about making the melon with patterned paper and then decided to live on the edge and JUST DO IT! HA HA HA

I am not too happy with the green scallop frame, but I ain't redoing it now!

Here you can see more detail, and of course you can click on the pictures if you like if you want them bigger. I pop dotted the melon and also the sentiment. The rhinestones are some hot fix ones I got off eBay *okie is totally addicted to eBay and has been for almost 10 years now...if not 10!*

  24. Love your patterned melon and the green scallops too even when you left them as it is. The huge curves reflect the huge melon and fall in place quite nicely. I love the colors
