Hi! This card was made for today's Ways To Use It Challenge: Picture This! We were to use a photo in some way on a card or 3-D project....
To help celebrate Treehouse Stamps new release today, I wanted to use a different stamp set.... However, Speedy the Cat LOVES this great new set, Life's a Picnic, so I HAD to use it...Speedy the Cat is getting VERY demanding lately! LOL!
The photo is actually a LASER printer copy of a photo. I then took packing tape and adhered it to the copy. Next, I soaked the photo copy in water and RUBBED the paper off! The image adhered to the TAPE!!! Next, I adhered the TAPE to a piece of Whisper White paper, and there you have it!
I stamped the cute berry twice, colored with marker, and cut out the pieces and layered them.
The layers are heavily sponged, tone on tone.
Scallops are Marvey punches. Circles are Coluzzle.
The background was made to MIMIC Strawberries. I ran the panel through the Cuttle Bug with the Swiss Dots folder and then used a dauber to rub Black over the dots!

Oh Faith, this is just spectacular! Your little ant is just perfect for this card. I read and reread your directions, but I'm still clueless about that whole tape thing. Oh well, I'll just admire it from my screen! Beautiful card.
