Creating this card this evening made me hungry!!! I was so thrilled that nestled in my fridge were some red ripe strawberries. So I quickly snapped the picture before savoring these delightful berries :D
Once again I created a simple, quick card with just little hints of character. This time I used the white Arturo cards being that I wanted a crisp red and white design. Watercoloring and color pencils are quick ways to color in this marvelous little image. I created three layers - the card front, the bowl cut out and then an additional layer of the two strawberries. The bowl was glazed to look like porcelain using the clear glaze pen and the strawberries were given a slight shimmer with the glitter pen. Bumping these out on dimensionals, adding a hint of red and white gingham, a little piercing and the design was complete.
Tomorrow I plan on sharing some of Friday's plans. I can hardly wait - Friday the 13th may just be your lucky day, so don't forget to leave a comment on this thread.
Such a cute card!

I am hoping that my comment on your blog will change my luck. Our family has HORRIBLE luck on Friday the 13th!! My three girls have fallen and broken bones and been admitted to the hospital for emergency surgeries...on Friday the 13th. I never was superstitious...but now the whole family cringes when we see Friday the 13th on a calendar.
