Watermelon Goodness!

Hi everyone! Cari here with you today!

So happy to be sharing with you today! I am so excited that Core'dinations and Paper Trunk teamed up together because I think that they are a fabulous match!!

Today I'm sharing with you a layout that I created about my son and his love for watermelons! I knew that I wanted to have a watermelon on the page in some form or another. So I designed by layout first and then created the watermelon slice with some Core'dinations cardstock.

I took a piece of the Vintage green cardstock and cut it to the shape that I wanted.

I then took my Sand it Gadget and gently sanded around the curved edge to create a lighter effect.

I placed the red piece overtop just to make sure that I had the desired effect I was after. I then embossed the red cardstock with a polka dot embossing folder, adhered it in place overtop of the green cardstock and used 2 different sized circle punches (1 1/2" and 1") to create "bite" marks on the top edge of the watermelon.

Here's my finished layout.

Supplies used: Paper Trunk (Jellybean Collection, Socialite Collection - striped), Benny Alpha stickers (black)), Core'dinations Colorcore Cardstock, Pink Paislee (blue chipboard alpha), Ek Success (border punch), Cuttlebug embossing folder

And some close up shots as well.

I hope I've given you some inspiration to play with Core'dinations cardstock and Paper Trunk TOGETHER!
