It made me think of all things sweet with the little banners and the baker's twine. I started off making a floral card, but the beautiful reds in this "Tangerine" paper from My Mind's Eye made me think of this Big Berries-Strawberry image from Waltzingmouse Stamps.
I originally had pennants along the bottom, but they looked too "busy" next to the "faux washi" printed right on the paper. So I chopped them off and made little tabs. Risky move since the card was done and sitting on my shelf!
I was practicing with the adorable new flowers images and dies from WPlus9's Fresh Cut Florals and decided they would be perfect as strawberry blossoms! The sentiment is also from Big Berries-Strawberry.
I am enjoying this challenge blog so much! The DT is fabulous and so many gorgeous entries each week...very inspiring :)
