So...how do you like some strawberries?
This wonderful stamp from is called, of course, Strawberries and can be found here. The image is nicely illustrated with shading to help you when you color . I stamped it with memento black ink and colored it with copics. Although I used 4 red copic markers on the berries it went really fast. I added some highlights on the seed portions with a white pen. (BTW, if anyone ever invents a white pen that doesn't have to be constantly shaken to work, or one that does not dry out after a few months they will end up being very rich!!)
I used a stitched rectangle die for the main piece, and a silhouette file scalloped rectangle in the background. Some patterned paper on the bottom was topped with a red gingham ribbon and green button.
On a personal note...we lived in California for many years before moving to Florida. We were next to a city that was known for its strawberry fields and each year at harvest time, starting in March, you could buy flats of fresh, ready to eat strawberries direct from the farms at roadside stands for next to nothing. It was wonderful! We would have smoothies, shortcake, and all sorts of wonderful strawberry filled treats. I do miss being able to get such a deal here where we live.
I hope you like the card and that you will hop on over to the IBFS store where you will find this and thousands of other stamps .
Thanks for stopping by today!!
