Hi and welcome to my blog. What a fun image for summertime! Today is the first day of summer and it sure feels like it. It is time to find something to cool us off. A big slice of juicy watermelon sounds like a good way to do that! I had fun making this card today for a few challenges. The patterned paper is Basic Grey Sweet Threads -- Mix & Match. For the flower I started with a flat flower charm and used a technique that I have not used in a long time. I colored the charm using Sharpie markers. I then tapped Versa Mark ink over it and sprinkled on Sparkle embossing powder courtesy of Sparkle N Sprinkle. I used three layers of the embossing powder. I love how sparkly the flower turned out!
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope your summer is great!

This is so sweet! I love the look of that gorgeous doily!
We had a very hot day here too. I loved it though as we've had some pretty miserable weather so far this spring/summer.
This bunny knows how to cool off! What a fun card, and I love the way you colored the flower charm! Thanks April for joining us at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge. Nicely done.
