Hi, it's Joy and today's Wild Card Wednesday post is a card made from the new Just Because Cards cartridge! I figure everyone needs thank you cards so my cards this week will feature that idea.
I cut this card and melon at 4 1/4" and the word art at 4". Very simple! After cutting the card, the front measured 4 1/4" x 6".

This melon had quite a few layers but they were large and easy to put together. I inked the edges of the layers using matching inks to give it some dimension. Then, since I always like to cuttlebug things, I ran the pink part of the watermelon through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots folder. What was nice about this cut is that the seeds are not seeds you had to glue down but actually holes that show through a black layer underneath. So much easier than gluing...

Paper is from Core'dinations cardstock, My Minds Eye (big polka dot), Pink Paislee (black check), and October Afternoon (green patterned). Buttons from Basic Grey and twine from Papertrey Ink.
I popdotted the melon slice - always need to pop dot something!


I added a strip of matching October Afternoon paper on the inside for a little interest.
You won't want to miss tomorrow's layout from Melanie where she shows a funky way to use the Just Because Cards cartridge for scrapbooking!

What a great card... I hope Provocraft appreciates sites like this. I find their site too time consuming to search for inspiration. Without sites like this, I think they would sell a lot fewer items.
