A simple card made beautiful with the new SU Elegant Bouquet EB folder for the background and the new Flourishes "Strawberries" stamp set image. I took a photo of the inside also as it features the basket of strawberries from the same stamp set. The sentiment from SU's "Serene Sunflower" retired set was just perfect. I made this card to send to our old college friends, who made a quick visit last week. It had been 30 years since our last visit and we are as good a friends as when we met 45 years ago. Time does fly......
I colored both images with SU markers....was so quick and easy with such beautiful images. Enjoy...

Wonderful card, Nancy! I love the embossing with the strawberries image and the sentiment couldn't be more perfect for your long-time friends! The red frame really makes the berries pop!

I really love your card!! You did a great job coloring the Flourishe's image and I love the new SU embossing folder. All of the white really gives your card a beautiful clean appearance.

This is so pretty! I had a friend who loved strawberries and the blossoms (she has gone home now after a tough fight with cancer) and she would have flipped over this card. She decorated her whole house with them and this card so made me remember how special she was/is. Thanks for sharing!
