Ellie has chosen the theme of Season’s Delights for the new Allsorts Challenge. This time it's a two week challenge, so plenty of time to join in. When I think of summer, it reminds me of strawberries. A friend celebrated a big birthday recently and she loves anything with strawberries on, so I made her this card.
I used a free strawberry cross stitching design I found HERE. The stitching was done with crochet cotton on a Marianne Designs cross stitch die cut. The circle and scalloped mats were die cut using stitched Memory Box dies. I added a panel of spotty red and white patterned paper and a computer generated sentiment.
The prizes this time are three dies from Tonic Studios.
I am joining in the following challenges:
