I made this card for Summer Playlist VSN: Misti's challenge, "Spoonful of Sugar." I can't think of anything much sweeter than a strawberry! Yum!
I stamped and watercolored my gnome and added a die cut border in blue around image. I had lots of time left, so I decided to something different than the usual 2 layers behind my image. So I cut up some strawberry DP, gluing them on at an angle and then, there was too much white space. So I started to doodle with red and blue pens. I fussy cut out a strawberry for the corner. Hmmm...need a sentiment, so I wrote "so very sweet" in blue ink. And, of course, I had to add a few more doodles since there was still lots of time left! LOL Now, the blue frame looked boring and plain, so out came the white gel pen. Thank goodness, the hour was up! No more doodling! Oops...where's my glitter...no card is done for me without glitter. I added some to her strawberry banner!
Thanks for a super fun challenge Misti!

LOVING the strawberry theme of this card, and that gnome with the strawberry is so cute and colored beautifully, loving the painted background of the focal image. This is so bright and fun, and I love it!
