As you can see I created two entirely different looking designs with the melon stamp set which is from Stamplorations and is called Layered Watermelon. My placement of the images is not spot on but I will just call that artistic license on my part to pretend I wanted it that way. LOL All card stock used on both cards is from Gina K. Designs.
The first one is more traditional in design as I actually made melons on the card. I used Electro Pop Inks which are designed by Rina K. and available at Gina K. Designs. These are a deep vibrant ink and quite juicy so they bleed through light weight card stock. So I had to layer the designs but that was okay I guess. I also used a bit of white paint pen to add some highlights to the melon seeds along the edge. Oh and the border along the edge of the white melon panel is done with a black marker.
This second Twofer is off the grid and with this one I let my imagination run wild and created a sort of smiley imogi kind of design. I added a bit more decorative stamping to the card and ended up with a fun birthday greeting. Again I used the Electro Pop inks and a white paint pen. All the sentiments used on both cards are from this same melon stamp set.
I hope you enjoyed this crafting excursion of mine. I know I surely did. And, it was a great way to spend a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon. Take care everyone and thanks for the visit.
God bless,
Verna

Two great cards, Verna. Brilliant sentiment on your first card and what a fun and creative way to use part of the melon stamp on your second card. xx
Two very FUN and different cards Verna! Love your traditional watermelon card with those awesome bright inks, and your 2nd card totally makes me grin...love how you used the seeds for all that wild looking hair!! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at The Twofer Challenge this month!! :0)
I can tell that you had fun just letting these cards have free rein while making them, Verna! They are both wild, bright, and really amusing designs! I love that neon green with the bright juicy pink and how you added the white gel pen accents to the seeds on your first card. And I especially love the punny sediment! I can't imagine anyone NOT smiling when they get a look at your wonderful smiling emoji dude on your birthday design! I can think of a coupla teenage boys I know who would love this, so thanks for the inspiration!! And thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #24! Hugs, Darnell

Another wonderfully creative take on the "twofer" theme. I love the melon seeds on the border of the melon cards and what recipient wouldn't grin from ear to ear with the melon choly card?!! Awesome makes, Verna.
Oh, what a funny and amazing twofer of melon cards! I like the word play on the first card. You've used of the stamp on very clever and funny way on the second card.
Hugs, Sonja
What a fun pair of cards! I especially like the smiley face on the first, but that sentiment on the 2nd just tickled my funny bone! NJ on both!
Oh I am loving your creative dude with the wild eyes and the wild hair. Your bright traditional watermelons are darling, and such fun as well. Thanks for bringing your fun cards to the Twofer Challenge #24.
Both are totally different and the most fun cards. The one with the smiley face is adorable and makes me smile.
Absolutely brilliant, Verna! A stroke of genius for your unconventional use of the melon stamps. That is so funny! Really love the conventional melon card, too. The white accents on the melon seeds make all the difference.
both awesome cards, Verna, but that second one is genius and super creative! love it!
