I wanted the strawberries to be the "present", so I "wrapped them with a ribbon"!
Hope your week has started off well :)
Eve
I love this image. When I saw this stamp for the first time, I thought of Chocolate covered strawberries! lol! You can see it here, if you'd like to know what I mean:-) I have a "house mouse" online friend's birthday, coming up for next month, but I couldn't wait to make this card for her. I usually make birthday cards when I get inspired so this will sit at my place for a month. lol! At House Mouse & Friends Monday challege, they are having "Let's Get Fruity" challenge. I thought this would be perfect :-) Also at The Fuzzy Wuzzy Challenge, they are having "Shaped" card challenge. This is my newest nestie die and wanted to use it! :-) And in fact, the shape & the size was perfect for this Cute image! I colored another image of mouse & "chocolate covered strawberry", cut them, and adhered with dimentional glue dots to give a bit of dimention, as well as the white card stock with distress ink around, and the sentiment. I used Glossy accent for chocolate to give a bit of a real look, and so is candle. I used glitter glue to the fire.
I made this YUMMY card for this week's challenge at CardPatterns, using the sketch shown. I rotated it by 90 degrees. It's rather a simple pattern but I thought it's perfect for this house mouse strawberry image! I love anything/anyone with Berries (any kind) images!.. I might've mentioned that before. lol :-) I also made this card,using the color challenge at the Corrosive Challenge; Red & white. Sometimes it's fun to change the colors from the original colors, and it still looks nice. For this card, I punched the leaves out from red glitter papers, instead of green, which I normally would use. After coloring strawberries with watercolor pencil, I used black pen to trace the seeds. Then I traced all the black colored seeds with sakura clear glaze pen to give a bit of shiney look & a bit of texture. Thank you for stopping by my blog today! :-)
This is my first submission to Etsy Inspired Challenge. I have a shop in Etsy and i've been following the challenge blog but never had made a card to upload there. (Right now, i don't have anything in the store. I'll upload some pics. by the end of this month though.) Anyways, this weeks challenge is from Lover dover's shop. The 2nd pic. is the one i was inspired by, to make this card. I luv the combination of Red Gingham Check, Black trims, white lace & watermelon!! Very summery, and you all know, i luv to make SUMMER cards, ALL YEAR AROUND! LOL :-) Pop up glud dots were used for the 'hello' tag.
