Summer Sweetness Recipe Card -- High Hopes

 One of my favorite things about Summer is the fresh fruit that is available  locally and lots of fresh Watermelon!

Summer Sweetness from High Hopes Stamps can be found here! 

The image is coloured with Copics and the pattern paper has some nice Summery images that I thought went well with this sweet gal!  This is actually a Recipe Card in a way as there is a recipe inside the card! :) 

 I added a Watermelon Slushy Recipe to the inside of the card for a little added fun. There's lots of areas to write as the entire inside is covered in layers of pattern papers. 

I think this would be a nice way to invite a friend for a Summer BBQ or maybe a drink or two.

Thanks A Melon

Welcome back High Hopes Fans! I hope you are enjoying the first week of summer! 
For me, there is nothing better on a super hot, humid day then some sweet, cold watermelon or cantaloupe. 

This week's post features "Summer Sweetness" - this cutie sure seems to be enjoying her watermelon doesn't she?! I'm not sure I smile this big when I have some but it sure does help cool me down. 

I started by colouring my stamp with alcohol markers and cutting it out with a stitching and piercing marks die. I used my Fiskars circle cutter to cut the cardstock circle to back it with. After cutting and scoring my card base, I added patterned paper from MFT and Echo Park. A white gel pen was perfect to add dots to her cute cheeks and hair bows. 

Some flowers from Prima and gumdrops were the perfect finishing touches to my card.
