Thanks a melon Tag

Created this Thanks a melon Tag using Tags, Bags, Boxes & More Cricut cartridge. Cut 2 pieces of tag to cover up the brads backing & to give more sturdiness. Used Kraft cardstock, Nana's Nursery Baby Girl & vellum. Used Joy's Life Yummy Puns stamp for sentiment "THANKS a melon." Used studio g stamps for Watermelon images. Added brads & ribbon.

Stamping & coloring on vellum is becoming a favorite technique of mine.
