CASE Study Challenge #35

Today I have a card for the current CASE Study challenge. You can see Silke Ludlow's inspiration piece HERE at CASE Study.





I wanted to do a fruit themed card like Silke's, but when I looked to see what fruit stamps I own I realized that's an area where I'm sadly lacking. So I used the strawberry paper from Cosmo Cricket's Garden Variety Mini Deck, and cut a jar with PTI's Friendship Jar die. All of the patterned papers for my card are from the Garden Variety pad.




I added a few details, like the gingham double bow, some buttons, stitching, and embossing.




I used the "well preserved" sentiment from Friendship Jar so I can use this as a birthday card for one of my more "mature" friends ;)

Hope you have a fabulous day; thanks for stopping by!

  15. Cute card, but I like the Well Preserved sentiment even more. Cute idea. I love how you made your card work by using patterned papers when you didn't have a lot of fruit stamps.
