Strawberries in a Circle - The Paper Players Challenge #406

The challenge this week at the Paper Players is a clean and simple one focusing around the topic of fruits  and vegetables.

I love strawberries, and Ontario strawberries picked right from the field still warm from the sun, are some of the best in the world (but I'm a bit prejudiced).  So, it was natural that I would select a strawberry for this card.


Using a template in the Stamparatus I stamped the strawberry from the stamp set "Fruit Bowl" in a circle - the berry Real Red; the topper in Granny Apple Green - on  a Whisper White square.  The square was matted with Real Red card stock and then added to the card front.

The card base of Real Red was matted with Whisper White card stock with a 1/2" strip of retired Tutti Fruiti DSP at the top and bottom

The sentiment was stamped with Black Memento on a strip of Whisper White notched at both ends and after matting with Real Red card stock, was added to the circle using dimensionals.

Just for interest - did you notice the little pear?

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Fruit Bowl
Ink:  Black Memento, Real Red, Granny Apple Green
Papers:  Real Red, Whisper White, Tuttu Fruiti DSP
Accessories:  Stamparatus, Dimensionals.

Your wreath of berries is just delightful, and my mouth is watering, thinking about eating them fresh from the patch!! I didn't like strawberries when I was a kid...I didn't like anything with seeds, and those little seeds sticking out all over made me give them a thumbs down. As an adult, I've made up for lost time, because I love them!!! Love your card too! Thanks for sharing it with us at the Players this week!
