Sunday & No Work Tomorrow!

Good afternoon all you lovely people of Blog!

I hope you are all well!

I'm officially on my holidays although we're staying at home,
so we can spend some time at 

The Edinburgh Festival & Fringe! Yay!

I'll post more about that later!

Sunday as ever sees a new challenge over at
The Crafty Pad!

 The theme  is "Gone FrUiTy" (lets see some fruit on your cards)

Here's my card

I made an easel card!

The Image I have used is 

Berry Sweet Strawberries from The Crafty Pad Designs 

& the sentiment that I've used for the stop comes as part of it!

Nice & simple but I really love those strawberries, they just cry out summer to me! 

Here's how I made it!

I used an A4 sheet of card for the base card,

scored & folded it at a quarter then a half to give me easel base.

I then cut sections of my design paper to decorate.

The paper I've used is from the

  Valentine Rose set at Cardmaking Downloads.

I coloured up the image with Promarkers, using umber, gold & green on the seeds! 

(Did you know Strawberries are the only fruit that has it's seeds on the outside???)

I then added Diamond Sparkles to the seeds

I cut round the image & mounted it onto a piece of card which I had run through my big shot in a 

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Swiss Dots!

I also added some red organza ribbon from my stash & some little red flower buttons.

I ran some lace from Dainty Paperie  along the top & bottom sections just to add the finishing touch.

I hope you like it & that you have time to join in our Gone FrUiTy challenge at The Crafty Pad this week!
