Strawberry Thank You

Hello, everyone! Summer is just around the corner and I made this card with that in mind. Strawberries always remind me of summer. I love them all year round (when I can get them), but especially in the summer when they are red and ripe and so very sweet. The optional twist for this week's challenge at The Outlawz was the "First Day of Summer" and so I used strawberries as my central theme for my card.

I began with preparing my base card in white card stock and layering it with black. Next, I added a layer of patterned paper and put this aside to work on my focal image.

My image is a Bestie's digital stamp entitled Berry Blossom which I printed out and colored with both Copics and Spectrum Noir markers. When done, it was die cut with Spellbinders Delicate Ovals. Before removing it from the die, I sponged around the edges with PTI Aqua Mist ink. This was then popped onto my prepared base card with dimensionals.

The sentiments were created on my computer and printed out. The "Thank You" sentiment was cut and embossed with a die from Spellbinders 5x7 Detailed Scallops and the bottom sentiment was cut and embossed using Spellbinders A2 Tranquil Moments die. These were then positioned and popped onto the base card with dimensionals.

This completed my project. I hope you enjoyed this post and were inspired to create. Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day!
