Anne Marie is in charge this week at The Paper Players' CAS Challenge, and she's come up with a fun theme - "Bon Appetit! - Things you can eat". As usual, I have a hole in my card supplies when it comes to food, which is strange for a foodie! I do have an old summer stamp set that features rows of pineapples, watermelons, and ice cream cones, and I started out to work with it. Then I threw out my idea and decided to make my own watermelon slices with a series of circle dies and some green and red cardstocks.
Once I started playing with the idea of a couple of slices of watermelon, my mind started wandering to the idea of picnics and bugs, and voila, this is what I came up with. I started with a die cut stitched rectangle in white cardstock that I stamped this little Katzelkraft bug onto and colored him with some Copic markers, along with a small sentiment from Hero Arts #CM351. Then I trimmed a scrap of red and white checked PTI paper and glued it over him and added the watermelon slices I had made - a bug's picnic banquet!
I'm not a big fan of watermelon Fran but for your card I'll make an exception - this is fantastic! A feast for your ant for sure - I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! Unlike Joanne, I love watermelon, but I am glad your ant is just a stamped one! I DO NOT like them! Clever idea and very cute!
ReplyDeleteBravo on making your own watermelon slices, they look great! The ant on the other hand... he looks fierce! This is a fun card, Fran!
