This card is my entry for today's Limited Supplies Challenge (LSC22 to make a card with a cropped image, repeat the image at least 3 times, and use only brads or eyelets as embellishments. Since my supplies are limited anyways, I thought this challenge would be right up my alley!! (It's also an entry for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge, FTTC23, to "pop it up.")
I used an as-yet-uninked image from my new TAC Fruit Collages set and cropped just the strawberry from the image for my card. I'd been thinking earlier in the week that I wished that I had a lone strawberry image, and as soon as I read the description of this challenge, I knew this technique was the perfect solution! The strawberries were colored with colored pencils and are all popped up on dimensionals.
It's a pretty simple card, but I think it turned out OK.
Thanks for looking!

Those strawberries are amazingly coloured - they look 3-dimensional, as if you'd sculpted them or added padding underneath. Lovely work with the brads too - there are a lot of people who didn't read the challenge properly and added ribbons .
Oh and yes - isn't cropping exactly what you want to do with strawberries! Mine haven't even flowered yet, giving up hopes of a crop this year.
