Hello, I have been playing with the Watercolor Melon stamp set today and have made a sweet thank you card.
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate the watercolor melon card, you will need:
Garden Green card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Poppy Parade card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Poppy Parade card – 3½” by ⅛”
Poppy Parade card – 2½” by ¼”
Meandering Meadows dsp – 3½” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card
The small piece of Meandering Meadows dsp was glued to the bottom of the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card.

I stamped the leaves in Garden Green ink in the upper part of the same Basic White panel. The thin strip of Poppy Parade card was added to the card above the piece of dsp. The whole panel was then glued to the Poppy Parade layer and then to the Garden Green card front.

The large melon was stamped in Garden Green ink onto scrap Basic White card and punched out using the Modern Oval Punch. The slices of melon were stamped in Poppy Parade ink and the rind added with Garden Green ink onto the scrap Basic White card and punched out with the same punch. The seeds were then added in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

The large melon was added to the card front on Dimensionals and the slices added with a combination of glue and Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Sending Smiles stamp set, was stamped in Versamark Ink onto the 2½” by ¼” strip of Poppy Parade card. I covered it with Black Embossing Powder and heat set with a Heat Tool. I flagged the end with Scissors and added it to the card front.

A Baker’s Twine Bow and a trio of Tinsel Gems completed the card.
