Watermelon Card
I did this card after seeing Sheila do one at http://shesasassylady.blogspot.com/2012/06/gypsy-made-simple-making-shape-card.html and I just loved it. Sheila used her gypsy to make the card base but I used the trusty old Design Studio. She used some stickers that were a little dimensional and glittery for the watermelon seeds. I didn't have those and didn't have time to run by Hobby Lobby so I thought about using some of those acrylic tear drops..only had clear ones but they look great if you color the bottom of them with bic markers. Anyway, that added a lot of bulk to the card and it's going to a crafting friend in Canada (extra postage, don't ya know). So I ended up cutting rain drops from the Simply Charmed cartridge out of a metallic black paper. I think it ended up looking pretty good. Maybe too many seeds but I sometimes overdo the details. :o)
