A Berry Sweet Friend!


It is well and truly Summer here in Texas, with very warm days, barely cooler nights and rain that if it comes brings along with a flash of lightning and a big boom of Thunder.
One of the bonuses though is the proliferation of fresh fruit in the stores.
From Strawberries to Peaches to Melons and more, each day has a little taste of fruity sweetness and today I decided to bring that Summer bonanza to Tilda and my card!

Card Recipe:
Image - Yummy Strawberry Tilda and Summer Background
Sentiment Stamp (friend) - Studio G
Medium - Copic Markers
Paper - Vintage Girl by Martha Stewart
Stickers - Doodlebug
Pearls and Butterflies - Recollections
Ribbon - Michaels
Lace - Hobby Lobby
Border and Corner Punch - Eyelet Lace by Martha Stewart
Glitter - Cotton Candy by Stickles
Scoring Tool - Scor-Pal
Airbrushing Tool - Copic





I added some of the extra sparkly stickers to the back of the card on the message mat.



I hope the camera picked up the glitter on the fruit, I decided to add more as the stickers were glittery already and we knows girls love glitter!
After yesterday with an Easel Card I decided to do a Center Stair Step today. It is so easy to just make the simple square cards that I have to remind myself to make more cards with a little different fold. With my Scor-Pal it makes it so super easy and I must find the time to look at some other styles and maybe come up with something new myself!
Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed my little Fruity Tilda!

  41. Like the sweet image. Wonderful coloring. Especially like the finish on the inside of the card. I live in Central TX and it was hot today 6/9. We are growing strawberries in our backyard. Have had them a couple of yrs and each yr they produce more that they do the previous yr. Thank you for entering the Tuesday Throwdown Friendship challenge.
