Welcome! Happy Friday..... or Saturday in the UK! I created this card for our weekly Totally Gorjuss Challenge # 192. Our theme is "sweet". I know, I could have used my hedgie with the BIG cupcake..... but I am on a diet. Yep! Down 26 pounds and seem to be in a holding pattern! But I am working on it so I decided to create some sweet strawbetties for you! I used "Sweet Strawberries" illustrated by Theresa Momber (GKD). Strawberries will be better on the waistline! LOL
Close up
As you know - I am a "background junkie". I love, love, love backgrounds! I decided to try a new background yesterday. If you look closely, you will see buterflies emerging from behind the strawberries! I really like how this turned out! I actually used copics for the background. I used BG0000, BG000, BG70 and BG72.
I am linking this card wth the following wonderful challenges:
- Totally Gorjuss - Sweet
- Make It Monday - Anything Goes
- Through The Craftroom Door - Anything Goes
That's it for today. I have a video to ocmplete and then off the the California fair! Have a safe and crafty weekend!
Hugs,

It's beautiful. I really love the subtle background as well as your beautifully colored berries.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about your card. I saw the butterflies immediately! Did you have a samp for the background or did you do the butterflies by hand? The coloring on the strawberies and leaves is gorgeous as well. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI used a techique with Copic alcohol ink maarkers and stencils. Thank you for your wonderful comment!
