Better than an Argument

Photo Details

Poster: Gem35

Gracie (JRHolbrook) loves red, so she asked us to use red in our cards for the MMTPT Challenge. I looked up quotes with the word "red" in them, and found this Wendell Berry quote about red berries - so that's the direction I went! We are tickling our fellow teapotters today, so I'm excited to send this card to one of you ladies!

The country red check is just such a perfect look to go with those adorable die cut strawberries and love how you used them to partially frame that sentiment.

love this to bits, Gem! The balance of white space, that glorious quote (a fresh one for my 'collection'), the perfect gingham...and of course that fantastic strawberry, flourish die cuts. The dimension makes it. So happy to see you here!

Mmmm delicious! Love that quote - thanks for sharing it! The bright red berries and gingham tablecloth are speaking to me - time for breakfast (which means fresh strawberries on my granola!). Great card!!

So sweet! I have a tub of small strawberries that I was picking right into December - I need to thin them out now ready for Spring growth. The shaping in your berries really brings them to life. What a sweet treat this will be for the lucky recipient.
