I created this card for our great-granddaughter who turns 5 at the year of the month. I love the bright cheery way it came out. I loved it for this time of year when strawberries are in season and everyone is beginning there gardens.
The strawberry paper on the bottom is from DCWV Nana's Nursery stack and then Cuttlebugged the top using the dots folder. I just happen to have the strawberry ribbon that went along with the theme. This a a half fold card (5 q/w x 8 1/2) so I cut the strawberry at 2 1/2 inches using the Preserve cartridge. I have to admit that I have had this cartridge for quite a while and this is the first time I used it. I picked this from all the other strawberry cuts because I liked the little flower that is one it. Lots of sparkle on this card, the strawberry is all cut from glitter paper, then I ran it through the Cuttlebug using swiss dots then dotted each whole with a silver Sakura gel pen.
I used some clear Viva Decor for the center of the flower to it give some dimension. The inverted scalloped circle I cut using the Art Philosophy cartridge, also from glitter paper and then cut a plain circle to lay on top. The sentiment is a Sweet & Sassy stamp and thought it went well with the strawberry, I added a flower brad to the top.
I cut a smaller strawberry for the inside and then stamped a Stampers Best sentiment.
