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.

Great use of two different papers! Love the strawberries - I don't buy them at this time of year as they are imported and quite tasteless, but you've made me long for June when our local strawberries are ready.
Your strawberries look good enough to eat, and they look fab with the torn paper xxx
P.s. It could fir the freshly made sketches challenge too 😉
Love what you did with the torn papers as a background for the strawberries. Roll on strawberry weather!! Thank you for sharing this one with us for the Allsorts challenge
I love the effect of torn paper on craft p rojects, so this works for me. Lovely composition.

The torn paper stripes make such a perfect backdrop for these sweet strawberries. Thanks for joining us at FMS this week.
I'm not usually a fan of torn paper, but it really is effective the way you have layered them, Pat, and they make a perfect background for those glistening strawberries that have everyone's mouth watering! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
The torn edge makes for a lovely background. Thank you for sharing at Allsorts. Sarah
