A Fruity Card

Hi all.  Tut tut! To those that thought this might be something other than a card with some fruit on..lol, in this case strawberries, using a very old but never used set from Stamping Sensations which The Range used to sell many years ago so not available now.  I thought I should have a dig through some old stamps and I suddenly remembered this set and perfect for the Addicted to CAS Challenge which this time has the theme of food.  I also used some papers which I got a while ago from The Works.  I don't very often buy papers but these caught my eye and I have used a few of the different coloured alcohol ink inspired ones but not the striped ones which are in different colours to go with the the all over mixed colour ones, and there are a few other patterns which coordinate too.

I was inspired by a few cards online that I have seen using torn papers for backgrounds and I chose these two and I tore them with the stripes and a piece of the all over coloured one and then more of the stripes so that they filled a corner of a snippet of white card a bit smaller than the 5" x 7" card base.  I then found a snippet of white card and stamped the bunch of strawberries using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and then coloured them using a set of Lyra Graduate Pencils which I haven't used lately.  I then cut them out..a bit fiddly but I got their with a minor snip in the wrong place but luckily it was easily rectified when stuck down.  I used some Pinflair Glue Gel to give them a bit of dimension and stuck them over the paper, and all it needed was a sentiment also stamped in Nocturne Ink and heat embossed with WOW Clear Embossing Powder.  

Thank you for visiting my blog today and I'll see you again soon.
