Fun challenge today! I used red for my main primary color and I hope it's alright, but I included a secondary color, the complement to red...green. I'm always a little surprised when a red/green card doesn't look like Christmas.
I made this one earlier but forgot to upload it here. , I stamped & die cut both sizes of canning jars, reverse masked them & stamped the strawberries inside & colored them with Copic markers. I die cut a recipe card & with the die in place, I sponged some lt green ink inside the die edge & stamped the word Strawberries on the tab. For the large background, I used the vine from the Fancy Foliage dies & embossed it in several places rather than die cutting it. I used a green Copic to add color to the leaves and vines.The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
Thanks so much for looking! More details including the colors of Copics used are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Wow, Julie, this is "Berry" cool! Just want to pick those strawberries right off the card and eat them. Great coloring and card design.
