When I saw the inspirational challenge over on The Pink Elephant, I knew just what kind of card to make. Yep, you guessed it. A card featuring strawberries.
I used a cute stamp set from Fiskar's called Fresh Fruit. It has quite a few fruit images as well as cute sentiments. I used the strawberry image and stamped it out on GP White card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I also stamped the images on the back of a piece of White Mulberry Paper and a piece of Chocolate Mulberry paper. I colored in the strawberries with my BIC markers. I fussy cut all the images out. Using a glue dot I adhered the mulberry "chocolate" to the strawberries and used a white gel pen and a brown BIC marker to draw drizzles on the chocolate. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black and matted it on a piece of pink card stock and notched out the ends to form a banner.
The background patterned paper is from DCWV and had all the colors I was looking for in it. I pulled out a scrap of brown script paper and a piece of dark red plaid paper that looked like a basket pattern. I cut them down to size and adhered them to the center. Using pop dots, I added the strawberries and the sentiment.
Those "chocolate covered strawberries" look good enough to eat. I can taste them now. I hope strawberry pickin' time gets here soon.
Thanks again for stoppin' in. Have a truly blessed day.
