LIM : Feeling Fruity!

Well….Chrissie and Mandi have really challenged me this weekend on the Less is More Challenge:  Feeling Fruity….I don’t know about you guys!!

After a fruitless search of my stash though, I’ve settled on a bit of Punch Art.  I only have the Cheers to You set that Mandi has already used….I may give that a go later!

Challenge

I made two cards because I couldn’t decide where to put the sentiment….

 

Feeling Fruity

This was my first one.  To make the strawberry  I’ve punched a heart from Real Red card stock and stars out of Old Olive.  I’ve embossed the heart using Perfect Polka Dots and cut the stars in half to make the spiky leaves.  used Real Red for the strawberry. 

The sentiment is computer-generated on to Whisper White using the Fabulous 50 font….I can’t stop using it! It is what it says…Fabulous!

Finally, as you can see in the photo, I’ve layered the image on to Basic Black and stuck on the front of a 15cm square card blank.

Less is MoreOn my second card I’ve made a topper using the scallop trim punch and a bit of gingham ribbon from my stash.  This time I’ve made the image central but I’ve made the strawberry in exactly the same way.

Right!  Off to meet my visiting family from Darlington.

Back tomorrow…hopefully!

  2. I think they're both brilliant and how creative to use a heart die cut as a strawberry; I'd never have thought of that! xx
