IB79 Luscious Strawberry

Happy Thursday, peeps!  Since I totally bailed out on Laurel last week, and her Inspired By challenge, I made sure I had this one done!  It was a little tough to photograph, hopefully you'll get the full effect of it! So here we go:

And here is her yummilicious prompt:

Mmmm, they look delectable!  The simple focal point of my circle fold card is an Altenew strawberry from their Beautiful You set.  I stamped it in Crumb Cake on a white stitched circle, and again in Blushing Bride on a piece of Blushing Bride.  I added some shading with a blender pen, a few gold "seeds", then fussy-cut it and adhered it to the white piece.  I stamped the calyx in Soft Suede on some retired Brushed Gold cardstock and fussy-cut it as well, then added some gold thread and a linen bow:

The card itself is Blushing Bride, and it was cut with the Circle Card die; I added a layer of heart-printed vellum and a few gold embellishments.  I diecut the sentiment from Gold Foil cardstock and adhered it to the back of the circle, adding a couple of punched hearts as well:

I stamped the back of the card with one of the leafy patterns from the same set, and heat-embossed a gold sentiment, also from the same set:

The color challenge at Colour Inkspiration this week is Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Crumb Cake and Gold, and these seemed to fit Laurel's pretty photo prompt perfectly, and the Just Us Girls challenge is to use a fun fold, and hopefully my circle fold card will work:

I hope our delicious strawberries will inspire you to create some incredible confection of a card!  Please share it with us at Inspired By so we can be inspired as well!  Thanks for popping in today!

So yesterday Cassidy came up with an interesting art project; she had me print out some images of children (this day they all happened to be boys), after which she cut out the heads, arms and legs, then drew new clothes for them and reattached the cut-off parts! It sounds rather weird, but it kept her busy for quite a while!  Here's the first one; she drew a new shirt for him, then some shorts and shoes!

By the end of the day, she had a baby, a toddler and two teenagers!!!  Hopefully she'll do some girls next time!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!
