Sweet Summer Strawberries

Hello!

Today's card is for the Challenges at Stamp TV, Summer Fun, hosted by a dear friend, Sharyn Polesel and Simon Says Wednesday, Tie It Up!

 
My card uses the Gina K Designs stamp sets, Sweet Strawberries and Buds And Vases.  I stamped the jar on white card stock and then again on Vellum and fussy cut them both out.  Then I stamped the 2 larger strawberries, colored them and then fussy cut them out, twice.  I 'filled' my jar and then adhered the Vellum layer to mimic the glass.  Tied it off with a bit of Baker's Twine.

 
I stamped 2 of the strawberry plants directly onto the white background and colored with Copic Markers.  I centered my filled jar over the two images.  Added a sentiment, some flourishes,  3 Dotted Scallop borders, in varying sizes, rhinestones and ribbon.  And one Bracket Edge border cut at the top.  The Designer paper is also from GKD, Berries & Vines.
 
Nothing better than biting into a delicious ripe summer strawberry.....oh wait.....maybe a delicious frozen strawberry daiquiri....yum!
 
Thanks so much for coming by!
 
Enjoy~~

  4. So very different!!!! Love the strawberries in a jar. This could start a whole new line of stamps. I can think of so many fruits that you could put into a jar. Love your background and those swirls too.

  6. Ah.... my friend great minds think alike, I did the same thing awhile back, but i put jelly beans in the jar for one of my sweet tooth friends. The vellum makes it look like glass, I love how you placed the strawberries be hind the jar and the dotted swiss with the flourishes is the perfect touch.
