It's full of cute images and sweet sentiments too!
Here's how I made my card. First I stamped the images from the set and then colored them with alcohol markers. I masked off the edges of the card and inked the background with some cloud dies from my stash and Distress Inks in blues. I stamped the sentiment from YNS Sentiments 4 and then added the black frame around the edges. Lastly, I added black dots with a marker and some silver glitter Nuvo drops. Here's a close up view:
My second card for the hop uses the new "One in a Melon" stamp set!

It's full of cute images and sweet sentiments too!
Here's how I made my card. First I stamped the images from the set and then colored them with alcohol markers. I cut out the images and then I took a rectangle panel and added a Tim Holtz "Rays" stencil with red and green inks and a black marker, to make it look like watermelon rays coming out from the center. I put a black scalloped frame around the rectangle and added some twine to the top with a little bow. Here's a close up view:
