Hi everyone! Just a quick post today as hubbie has been working in the States all week and he's back at lunchtime so I'm trying to get everything out of the way to give him my undivided attention!
I've been really lucky with the challenges this week. I wanted to make a card with strawberries on to thank my bro's friend who got me a load of strawberry plants in the week. And what are lots of challenges this week? Either fruity, summery or strawberry?!!!! How lucky is that??! I used this strawberry stamp which was a freebie with Craft Stamper mag a while back. I like the image but, sorry Craft Stamper, it really doesn't stamp that well!! But beggars can't be choosers as I really wanted a strawberry as the main image. As the stamp was so heavy it didn't colour that great- what do you think? Too heavy, huh? So I added some Crystal Stickles to lighten the image up a bit and add a bit of bling as it's a feminine card. The papers were from my recent purchase of October Afternoon papers called Country Fair. One of them is called Strawberry Jam! I love these papers, so summery and vintagey. I did alot of stitching to add some interest and to add to the vintage feel.
