The Crafty Den: Krafty Chicks challenge #831

Good morning lovely friends; I hope your week is going well so far. I'm sharing my card for the new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge and this week we are on Week 5; and as it's an extra week this month we have an anything goes theme and Diane is our hostess. However we are mixing it up this year and adding an optional twist and the twist this time is 'mood board' and we have a beautiful summery board to inspire you. Such a fun twist and we hope you will come over and join in the fun with us.

Here is the gorgeous mood board image:

My eye was immediately drawn to the water melon image and luckily for me I had just purchased a fun fruity stamp set from Time For Tea Designs in their recent sale so it was shown some love right away! I created my own 'patterned paper' using the stamps and I think it turned out super cute. I hope you like it too.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the cute image:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and created my background using the single melon slice stamp; I also stamped the bunny with the melon slice and coloured them all with my Promarkers. I used the coordinating die to cut out the bunny image (along with 3 more from plain white) and added white highlights with a gelly roll pen. I stamped the sentiment using black ink on white card and also die cut another 3 from plain white card and stacked them using liquid glue. I decided to cut out the background using this fun wavy edges die and also cut a mat layer from black card using the next size up; I adhered the layers together with double sided tape. I used the same wavy edge die set and cut a smaller one from vellum to use as a grounding layer for my image and sentiment (as the background was super busy). I decided I needed another layer of vellum to give some separation. I added the bunny and sentiment onto the vellum using liquid glue and added the two layers of vellum together using double sided tape. This was then adhered to the background panel using liquid glue. The panel was added to my card base using double sided tape. I didn't add any embellishments as the background was busy enough already. For the inside I cut another white layer and black layer using the wavy edge dies. I had a tiny piece of the background left over so cut a strip for the bottom again using the wavy edge die and adhered all the layers together using liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment in the centre using black ink (I did some masking so that I could slightly change the sentiment). I stamped, coloured and die cut one more melon slice and added that to the top right corner using liquid glue. The panel was then adhered to the card base using double sided tape.
