This is my card for CC582. Peggy is our hostess and she chose real red, sahara sand and cucumber crush for her color palette. Dessert is make it a picnic. Since we are a team that sticks together when I saw Peggy brought the picnic basket I decided to bring the strawberries to fill the basket (lol)!!!
I found this gingham paper in my stash that was already cut with the Martha Stewart "garden trellis" punch. A score for me! So I decided to create a strawberry vine climbing up the trellis. I layered the gingham paper over sahara sand cardstock.
I used the CottageCutz "strawberry die" and cut in both cucumber crush and real red. My sentiment is from the Stampin'-Up picture perfect set. The flourish is from The Paper Pumpkin kit "chalk it up to love" kit.
Well that's my sample for this week. I hope you can play along with our picnic color challenge. Can't wait to see what you will bring to the picnic. Check out the other DT samples for more inspiration.

Wonderful picnic card, Mary! I love your tablecloth with it's beautiful border. You have a very creative nature. You've got your TC going the right way and your strawberries are placed exactly the same as I've seen on many summertime tablecloths. Very sweet indeed.

Mary, this is so pretty, and I especially love the gingham background. Strawberries were very popular today for a picnic item and I love yours on the vine!
