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!*

    Love your 'on the edge' watermelon ... and, you're right, the stitching is a great detail! I need to remember this the next time I do a melon card. Thanks!

    I love this card. The melon done in patterned paper is so cute. I haven't used the sewing machine yet and I must. I love the zig zag look on the melon.
    Thank you

    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
