Blogland is berry sweet

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card to show you today which is sentiment free as well as the cards I sell seem to do better this way. Of course the sentiments I possess are limited and much as the ones going around are really "berry" sweet, I am quite happy with what I have. 
Back to this strawberry which has bee die cut with a Sizzix die and I die cut the red and green paper twice for greater dimension and propped it on corrugated cardboard. There are three nesties under the strawberry which have been cut manually so it did take some time and I embossed the first one.
 I think I do like the clean look of this card. 




I am happy to share that my 100% recycled card shown below won the second prize over at Crafter's Cafe. Feeling good!!! I do get honourable mentions and do win challenges sometimes but the joy of blogging is far beyond these wins. So often I don't check or even post the badge if I have. And I have to learn how to use the widgets etc. 




I will participate in the following challenges with this card:

  6. 2 wonderful cards. Your berry card is CAS perfection! I love the way you built up the base on which to place that ripe, red berry. Love the embossing or whatever that is just underneath the berry. Great card. Thanks for playing with us at Addicted To CAS.
