The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drsdesigns.com\/watermelon-and-friend\/\" target=\"_blank\">watermelon &amp; ant<\/a> image was stamped on a scrap of white, colored &amp;\u00a0fussy cut. I trimmed the checkerboard around it a bit to fit in the space. I used a SAMJ to rearrange the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drsdesigns.com\/sweet-birthday-greeting\/\" target=\"_blank\">greeting<\/a> a bit. Added some twine &amp; a button then attached it back into the narrow checkerboard frame. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Sweet-Watermelon-Birthday-copics-04295.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17319\" src=\"https:\/\/thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Sweet-Watermelon-Birthday-copics-04295.jpg\" alt=\"Sweet Watermelon Birthday copics 04295\" width=\"500\" height=\"492\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Congrats again, Katie!
