Sending You Hugs -- for Sasayaki Glitter

I'm so happy to be back on the Sasayaki Glitter design team!  I needed to quit when my health was failing, but I'm feeling well enough now to be able to join in again and it is such a pleasure!  Today is my first post (or is it re-post?)  for the team.

Today is the start of the August challenge over on the Sasayaki Glitter Challenge Blog. The theme this month is "male".  You may use any image you wish, but if you use a Sasayaki Glitter image, Naz loves to draw boys, and she has some wonderful ones! 

Here's my card, with the "male" theme in mind, but also thinking of these summer days:

This card uses Yummy Melon (image #45), colored with Copic markers.  I cut it out with a decorative circle die from Craftin' Desert Divas.  The burlap ribbon is long-retired from Close To My Heart.  I'm going to be so disappointed when I use it all up.  I love it for masculine cards!  

The turquoise burlap paper and the sentiment are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  The papers are called Pastel Burlap, and have just the right amount of texture to them.  The sentiment is from the Sending You Sentiment Set.

The Sasayaki Glitter challenges start on the 3rd of the month, and run for a whole month, so you have plenty of time to get your 'male' make together.  I sure hope you can join in the fun!
