Today's first card features the Strawberry Pint dies. This set is the perfect mix of detailed. . . without being too fussy and time consuming. It won't take long at all to die-cut a whole batch of summer berries. I cut the berries and leaves from some scraps of watercolor paper that I had previously covered with ink and watercolor. They had great variations of color and blended shades that added a lot of depth and character to the berries and greenery. (Inking or painting colorful sheets to save for later is a great activity when your card making mojo takes a nose dive!)
I based the color palette of this pink and green cutie on my childhood bedroom. I had fabulous dressers that my mom painted green, with pink drawers in almost these exact shades. They were the best!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope your summer is filled with warmth and sweetness and crafty goodness all season long! Be sure to head on over to Simon Says Stamp and see all their latest and greatest products and inspiration!
