I didn't have any watermelon images so I went down the 'citrus road' and added some yellow and orange in with my pink...still has a nice summery feel. Had to embellish that jar...isn't the lace pretty? It and the little wooden flower button came from Craftpon. And the rest is a mix of this and that...scraps of paper and words from a couple different sets/companies for my sentiment (PTI and Precious Remembrance).
You can head over to the blog for more inspiration, or click on the designers below to see what they've whipped up for this challenge which will be open for two weeks. Hope to see you there!
The flower button comes in a natural wood color. For my jar, it was painted white and glittered. For this card, though, I used markers to color the buttons and added matching Prima jewels. I used some flower images from PTI's Beautiful Blooms that matched the button shape and added a few jewels to those as well. The rest of the images are from Precious Remembrance (Positive Thoughts, Journey, Mom and Dad), and the butterfly pieces are from Studio Calico.
Another Craftpon button was used to embellish this flower...
I thought some of the painted buttons would make cute centers for some bolder flowers, and I liked the way this one turned out...super simple card, too!
OK...I've kept you for long enough!!! I appreciate you dropping in today and hope you have a great weekend!

That canning jar... pure summer sweetness. That bold bloom paired with lotsa white and an awesome sentiment... perfection.
ReplyDeleteGeri, your card is wonderful! Love all your details!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! That first one is so soft and sweet, with the lace and twine and just the right bit of sparkle on the flower. Loving how you used those buttons, especially the one on the last card, it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis sweet summer card could not be any prettier Geri! I LOVE the lace trim on the jar, nice touch. And the glittery wooden bloom gives this just the right touch of pizazz!! Both of your other cards are pretty little numbers too. Hope you're doing well!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the citrus filled jar & lace trim Geri. Fabulous cards :)
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but for sure the jar is my favourite, because I LOVE that you wrapped it in lace! What a delicious post full of beauty!
ReplyDeleteReally liked the filled jar card with the lace trim. Love the way you use those little wooden embellishments. They add just the right touch.
ReplyDeleteWow beautiful cards Geri, the embellishments are fab!
ReplyDeleteGeri girl you have the most wonderful taste in embellies. There's no question that you know how to design a card. They're all amazing especially the first one that has me drooling. Hugs!
