Today is Mother’s Day in the States, and I have one last card to share.
While we were in Hawaii, I got an order from The Greetery which included the earlier released Bontani-cut Strawberries. The Postal Frame was also in that order. A friend had die cut a few of them for me, and I knew they’d be a useful addition to my collection of frames.
With the exception of the tiny sentiment, everything is die cut. I die cut the strawberries and leaves from colored cardstock and added some shading with blending brushes and Distress Oxide inks.
I added a small yellow pearl to the center of the sweet little blossoms. The berry basket is from The Greetery as well–one of their Market Baskets, and the patterned paper insert for the basket was from my scrap file.
I’m entering this in the current TicTacToe Challenge, where I used the bottom row across: Die Cut, Leaves, Pearls.
I’m also sending this to NBUS since I’ve never used my strawberries dies before.
It’s unusual, and beautiful, and so summery. I love the deep colours.
It would also work for diagonal, bottom left to top right … if you count the pearls as gold!
How wonderful to come home from Hawaii to find these new crafty goodies to play with, Karen! Your shading and pearls have made your basket of strawberries look good enough to eat … and, in my book, good enough to be a winner at TTT! I love the postage stamp frame, too. Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

What a beautiful card – I love all the layers, and those strawberries look tasty! Happy Mother’s Day, Karen!
Beautiful card, the strawberries look good enough to eat. I really like the wire basket die.
Oh my word, how stunning. The texture you have achieved is so lifelike.
A beautiful group of products in your hands is always great to see! Love how the strawberries pop with the red card front!
This is just beautiful Karen! The strawberries look wonderful in that little carton and these bright summery colours would lift anyone’s spirits! Thank you for playing with my board at TicTac Toe this week. Vicky x
