For their July release, Flourishes blog is running the Farm Fresh challenge. To get the details and to play along visit the blog here: http://flourishes.org/blog/
Stamped the main image from Flourishes Strawberries in Memento Tuxedo Black on PTI cream CS and colored with Copics. Sponged with Brilliance Pearlescent Yellow, Tattered Rose Distress Ink and SU Riding Hood Red. Used MS PATP on Little Sizzles Textured CS to make the mat/frame. Added the gingham ribbon. The combination of this October Afternoon Modern Homemaker DP and the strawberries reminded me of the wallpaper in my mom's kitchen circa 1965, giving it a homey feel to me. Used the Scor-Pal and Scor Bug to pierce around the edge of a 5.5' square Cream card and added faux stitching with SU Soft Suede marker. Sponged the flowers with the Riding Hood red remaining on the sponge and added Dew Drops. PT - One biggun
Thank you so much for looking and have a peaceful day.

This is positively delightful Marzi. I love you punch around the page framing that gorgeous image, which by the way, is colored beautifully. Those strawberries looks so real. This is so pretty. The gingham ribbon is darling and the flowers are a lovely accent.

Marie, this is STUNNING!! You colored those lovely Flourishes berries perfectly, and your layout couldn't be better. I really hope to play along with this Flourishes challenge this week, but I may be pressed for time. You definitely nailed it, though!

Very pretty fruit for the challenge, Marie. Love your punch around the page, too. Oh, the 60's wallpaper...very cool. If you win this July release, you'll just have to share it with me.
