Thanks A Melon Printable Greeting Card by Sandy

July 15, 2024

Hi there friends.

This is Sandy and I have a super colorful card today using the Thanks A Melon Printable Greeting Card.
I used my Brother Scan and Cut to cut out the cute little watermelon. The coloring was
done with Copic Markers in the following colors:

• RV11, RV13, RV14
• YG06, G07
For the background, I wanted to kind of simulate the green strips on a watermelon. I
tried to ink white cardstock freehand, but I wasn’t getting the look that I was after. I dug
through my stencils and decided to use the Sunray Background Stencil from Lawn
Fawn. I used Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink to cover the entire piece of cardstock,
then I used the stencil with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink. I watered down some
Mowed Lawn Ink and spattered the entire background. I used a 4” x 5 ¼” die with
stitched edge detail to cut out my background.
I loved the sentiment that was on the printable but I thought I would mix it up just a little
bit. I used the Giant Outlined Thanks from Lawn Fawn and then I heat embossed “A
Melon” using white embossing powder on black card stock.
This was a really fun and quick to make.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Sandy
