We don't have a watermelon patch, but we probably should for all the watermelon we eat in the summer. I love it in smoothies too! : )
Irene is the QFTD and such a deserving Queen she is! A fabulous gallery...AND always leaves the sincerest comments on other's cards. She had so many cards that I would love to case, but I chose this one since I was so enamored with that interlaced loop edging when she first posted it! SO clever!! It wasn't as easy to do as I thought it would be either! I changed the colors, image, and proportions, but kept the loopy laced edging and general layout.
Enjoy your week, Irene!

Fantastic interpretation of Irene's card! Love the watermelon ~ we eat tons of it over here too. Love the distressed edges ... they just add to the overall charm of your card.

This is so rich looking. Great colors and pretty gingham ribbon. I have been eating watermelon all week. Yummy. It is a great treat on a hot summer day. Love your card.

Such a summery looking country card!! The colors are that earthy look we love to see, and your intertwined Loops are over the top phenomenal!! Interesting how you took a "cute" card and made it so warm and inviting!! Bet Irene is pleased with the twist you applied!!

I could just take a bite out of that slice of watermelon. I love it too! Your coloring is so real looking and I too love the looped punch look. Fabulous case.
