I'm so happy to be here today sharing a card for both the Papertrey Ink Throwback Thursday AND the new Inspired By Challenge! The stamp set that I chose to "throwback" to is one of my all-time favorites; Strawberry Patch! This is one of those classic sets that I turn to again and again, especially this time of year! It has been the star of MANY teacher gifts, thank you cards, etc.
I wouldn't have normally added the yellow plaid with this card if it wasn't for today's challenge, but I really love the summer-y softness that it adds to my card! I used the Bitty Big: Harvest Gold pattern paper on the large side to bring this element into the design.
One of the things that I love most about this particular set is that it comes with both solid images and line art images. For today's card, I used the line art images because I wanted to color them with Copic markers. I die cut all of the pieces that I needed using the coordinating Strawberry Patch Die collection. Once that was done, I used my mini MISTI to stamp them quickly. I used an assortment of Copic markers to color them.
I used the Mix and Mat: Pinked Edge die to create the backdrop for the stamped images. I love all of the detail that it adds to this design. I liked the pierced detail so much that I decided to bring in additional pierced details by using Nesting Basics: Pierced Rectangles on both the white edge and the yellow piece.
I used my MISTI to stamp the sentiment underneath the strawberries. I like my sentiments to be crisp and the MISTI allows me to do that! I also added some white nuvo drops to the centers of the strawberry blossoms as well as the seeds. I really like the dimension that it adds to the berries. I hope you get a chance to join us this week at Inspired By! Thanks for fluttering by!

Your card is so pretty and I like the yellow plaid with the red berries.
Hi Kelly! Just back from across the country where my youngest daughter was married. It was beautiful but glad to be home as well. Your card is a beauty! It definitely has the summertime feel and so cheerful. I love that you shared your inspiration photo. It’s so good to be back on your blog, I’ve bookmarked your site. And I love everything you create. Thanks Kelly! :)
