It is Friday here and that means it is time for the Twisted Sister Challenge - I love this bunch of Sistahs and always look forward to this challenge and this week I AM ON TIME! Yahoo!
I have used my Layer of Color images, this 'berry' cute mouse (sorry I couldn't resist that!) is from the Polka Dot Parade set. I have chalked him and then used Dimensional Magic on the strawberries to give them that 'lush' and YUMBLY look! These have then been cut out with the SU Square Punch and layered onto black CS. I have added a Cuttlebug Die Cut to each square and secured it with a black brad.
The background DP has had the edges sponged and then been embossed with the 'Houndstooth' Embossing Folder. I am really liking the added texture it gives a card when you emboss DP. The lower image is from the Layers of Color Garden Borders set...this has also been chalked and had Dimensional magic added to to strawberries PLUS a light touch of Kindy Glitz to the leaves, which is not showing up very well in the photos - you know how it goes!! This border image has been layered onto black CS and torn olive green CS.
There you have it - one card, the Twisted Sister Challenge theme was 'Food Fight' - any kind of food goes. As cute as this little image looks - how horrified would we be to see this running across our kitchen floor! LOL!

Oh Linda what an amazing job you have done with your card, those strawberries look mouth watering, I think I would be standing on a chair screaming if I did see this little critter running off with my strawberries, you may even hear me right across the water
