Berry Sweet Friend


Today I am sharing a basket I made using the Strawberry Treat Box cutting file from The Cutting Cafe.  I am having so much creative fun using these files as a Design Team member.  Regina is so gracious with her sharing and the Design Team has awesome projects on the blog to inspire you.  Make sure to check it out on Wednesday and remember to leave a comment.  There will be one randomly drawn name from those comments and the prize...3 sets from the online store.  Get inspired and good luck!

I found the perfect paper in my stash to use for the basket and the strawberries.  I also used solid green for the strawberry stems and leaves.  White for the flowers.  I then sponged around the edges using Hollyhock for the strawberries, Topiary for the stems and leaves, Sunny Yellow for the flowers (all ink from Close to My Heart).

My finishing touches include black doodle lines and white dots and hash marks on the pieces.  Yellow brads were added to the center of the flowers and black bakers twine to the stems.  I filled my box with stamping goodies, just for the photo, as this treat box is just too cute to giveaway :)

Catch the Frenzy!
