Danni's Dreams Happy Snail Mail Swap - July 2022

 Hey friends!  I hope you are staying cool!  It is super warm here in the Pacific Northwest.  I am so excited to share this fun card that I created for a swap!  Danni Bindel (@Danni's Dreams) will be hosting the swaps in her group - Danni's Dreams Happy Snail Mail Swaps on Facebook.  I am so glad that I was able to participate in the first swap! 

The theme of our swap is Summer.  We were to make an A2 sized card appropriate for summer, and in our message, share with the recipient what summer is like where we live.  I instantly thought of picnics - and what says summer and picnics, but watermelon!  I recently purchased the adorable Summer Fruits stamp set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and so I colored up the watermelon with my Copics (listed below) and cut it out. 

The watermelon is making my mouth water!  I layered up some digital papers from Scrapbook Gems that made me think of picnic tablecloths on red and black card stock.  I heat embossed the sentiment in black and I added a little ant brad from Eyelet Outlet that I purchased at the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo a few months ago.  I purchased them just for watermelon cards!  Lastly, I added a bow made from baker's twine.

Colors Used:

Reds - R59, R29, R27, R24

Greens - G07, YG25, YG11, YG00

Black - N10, N8, N6

White Gelli Roll Pen
 I won't post this until I know that my partner received it, and I am so excited!  This was a relatively simple card to pull together, and I hope that she loves it!  It is currently on its way to the great state of Texas!  

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Xoxo, Kim
