This card makes me think of summer with the delicious watermelon designer series paper from the Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper that can be earned FREE with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration. Sale-a-Bration started on Tuesday, January 7 and runs until the end of February. I also used a stamp set for the sentiment from the Annual Catalog called Ice Cream Swirl
SHOP WITH MEI did not design this card, but instead I saw a video from Leena Girsa and it was so cute, I wanted to re-create it. So I'm sharing the instructions I typed to make this card.
