Summer Watermelon Card and Salad Recipe

I love this Little Yellow Bicycle Vintage Summer paper stack so much, I have to admit I hoard it.  But sometimes it is just perfect for a theme.  The papers really remind me of summers as a child.  The watermelon brings back memories of going to the garden to pick a watermelon and bringing to my grandmother to cut.  Boy, did she love to salt it.  I don't care for salt but I will sprinkle it on sometimes for nostalgia.  

Making this watermelon card makes me want to make this awesome Watermelon Salad with cucumber, mint and feta.  It sounds strange but it is such a unique combination and completely refreshing!  That is how I prefer my watermelon these days.

The Cheery Lynn Summer Drink die set has so many neat dies.  The watermelon is 2 pieces but the rind cuts into two pieces.  I used a two side card stock with a light side and dark side.  Perfect for the detail of the rind!  I added an extra layer by lining with black card stock for the seeds.  I should have added Judikins Diamond Glaze to the seeds for dimension.  I may go back and do that step.

Ingredients:

Cheery Lynn Summer Drink die set
