Melon Wreath!

Hello! I’m honored to have a card featured in the Gerda Steiner Designs blog. Today I am sharing the adorable Melon Muncher 2x3 stamp set.

This card base is made with Neenah Solar White 110# card stock. The critter and melons are made from Neenah solar white 80# card stock. After fussy cutting him out, I cut out the melon and used it to create several melons in half and quarter size to make a wreath. I used Copic Sketch markers to color the guinea pig and melons and then popped them up for a little dimension with some foam adhesive dots. 

To continue the melon theme, I used an Altenew stencil for the background in shades of green from the Simon Says Pawsitively Saturated ink line and some black splatter to suggest seeds. Using the sentiment included in the stamp set is perfect because what says HELLO SUMMER better than a juicy red watermelon?
