Take time to smell the....strawberries

Well, we got a lucky break last night.  They were calling for another good dumping of snow along with freezing rain.  Although we did get some, thankfully not in the amounts they were calling for.  A pleasant surprise, for a change.


So let's go with a change of season.  Anyone for some nice fresh strawberries?  Here's a delicious image from Just Inklined, titled Strawberry Pot, sure to make you think of warmer weather.  Coloured with copics, and then some DI on the background die-cut and doily.

In case you are wondering...that die-cut is very fiddly.  Be sure to layer a piece of wax paper in-between your paper and the die before cutting.

Supplies used:
Paper from Paper Mania - Burleigh Blue collection
Spellbinders die - Decorative Labels Twenty Seven
Other - ribbon, doily, paper candi, corner punch

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.   Stay safe!!
