Berries & Vines

I posted three views of the same card here so you could see up close some of the extra special touches I added to make this card work. It took me a while to figure what to do that would be creative and original, but I think I finally got it!

The paper is Berries and Vines from Gina K Designs. The leaves in the center were included in a package sent to me by a dear friend soon after I had surgery for my broken ankle. It was a great Get Well package, and you've already seen a few other cards I've created with diecuts from her gift.

In this card, the leaves along that center piece were white, so I colored them a few shades of green with Copics, added dots with my white pen, then cut out a few strawberries to climb the vine. Finally, I added a tied ribbon with more polka dots to complete the card. The sentiment across the top is from Stephanie Barnard's Stamps of Life. Hope you like it!

Now, go have a strawberry on me!
