This is for today's alphabet challenge using today's sketch challenge for the design. This week we are on the letter J for jam jar.
I dry embossed a piece of acetate for my card background thinking of the jam jars that have that fun geometric design on them. I punched circles in the various sizes as well as Mossy Meadow mats and then drew strawberries on them coloring them with Copic markers. For added emphasis, I heat embossed the word sweet in the sentiment - as well as made it Melon Mambo color. The sentiment and biggest strawberry are popped up with dimensionals.
Thanks for the challenges and thanks for looking!

The embossed acetate is such a clever touch—it really captures the feel of a jam jar and adds beautiful texture. Your hand-drawn strawberries are vibrant and full of charm, and the Melon Mambo sentiment pops perfectly. This card is a delightful blend of creativity and technique!

So creative! Love your hand-drawn strawberries. I thought they were stamped. Great job. Your idea to embossed the acetate looks amazing. Fabulous use of the sketch for this sweet card!
