Thanks A Melon!

How sweet it is! I hope you're having a great day! My card today features the Pretty Pink Posh Watermelon stamp and coordinating die set!
I like to arrange my images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card face to help me decide on placement before I commit and adhere everything in place. It's also easy to pick up the entire design and layer it over different backgrounds to choose which one I like best.
I stamped the sentiment in the center of a Scalloped Oval Frame and then arranged the watermelon, slices and leaves around the frame.
I decided on a stitched zig zag border in watermelon shades of ombre red and green. I love the Stacked Edges series of dies because they make quick detailed backgrounds in a snap. The die cut borders fit together like puzzle pieces so the finished background is smooth and flat.
The finishing touch is a sprinkle of Lime Shimmer Confetti. They shine like juicy dewdrops!  I'm linking up to Sunday Stamps where they have a sketch challenge this time!
