"Berry" Nice of You

Hello! It's summer and fruits are abundant now in my area. My favorites are strawberries and that's the fruit I chose to use in this week's Mod Squad challenge themed "A Fruitful Summer". The criteria was to use the colors of black, white and kraft (paper or ink) and to use a fruit image in our project. 

My basket of strawberries image is a digital stamp (don't know the artist) which I printed out on white card stock and colored with Copic markers. Next, I cut and embossed my focal image using Spellbinders Decorative Labels Thirty Four. The "Thanks" sentiment is a stamp from GKD Signs of Spring stamp set and was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then cut and embossed with Spellbinders Labels Seventeen. The other sentiment was composed on my computer and then cut and embossed with the same die. Before removing any of the die cuts from their dies, I sponged with Memento Desert Sand ink.

I prepared my base card in GKD Kraft card stock and layered it with GKD Cherry Red. For my final step, I popped my focal panel onto my base with dimensionals and my card was complete.

Thanks for stopping by and please visit often. There's always 

something new to see.

In the meantime, make it a great day with lots of crafting!
