Happy World Cardmaking Day! I have to admit, I cheated. I made this card earlier in the week - and in fact, I haven't stamped a thing today at all. Shanan and I have been out traipsing around the countryside all day in the gorgeous Spring sunshine - it's been glorious. Never fear, I intend to settle down to some stampy goodness after sharing today's card with you all.
Our
OCC hostess this month is the lovely and talented Diane - she's given us a gorgeous colour combo based on the colours of Fall. It's so nice to finally have the full compliment of Stampin' Up! colours to play with - I'm just loving all the new additions.
The sketch for this card is
Mojo #158 - it's been awhile since I played along, was great to work this one in. My image was mostly paper pieced - the strawberries and basket handle are coloured with SU! Markers. The basket was paper pieced after being over stamped with the
Linen background stamp. The
Cajun Craze layer was dry embossed and I added some
Crystal Effects to give the berries a little shine.
Inside is nice and simple - I love the clean look of a wide expanse of
Very Vanilla cardstock.
Head on over to see what the awesome
OCC design team whipped up this week - we hope you'll play along!
