March in Florida usually means strawberries are in full season, and yesterday I had the chance to check out the Floral City Strawberry Festival.
After being around all those strawberries I was inspired to make a card using a stamp set that I just HAD to have and have not used since getting, SU! Tart & Tangy. I wanted the card to reflect the “country fair” feeling of the festival so I chose red, white and black as my color palette. It took me several tries to get the coloring right on the strawberry stamp, making my finish time on this card over an hour!
My layout is one I have seen often on SCS, I think it is sketch challenge #123 (SC123), only I changed the four squares to three and an open space for the buttons. I can't remember ever using buttons before on a card, though I have a ton of them, so I'm pretty proud of myself that I used two!
I had a lot of fun creating this one, even though it did seem to take me forevah!
Thanks for looking!
