Inspired By

Hello everyone Von Marie here and I’m so happy to be on the blog today.  I’m so excited for this New Challenge Berries #IB375 and the card sketch is so much fun.

Let’s Get Started:

I was inspired by the Inspiration photo the colors, Berries, and the Card Sketch.  How are you inspired?

I chose to use a Jaded Blossom die set called Fruit dies. I love all the different fruit dies in this set.  I was aiming for Raspberries.  I cut out some dies from the set like the base the berries and the leaves out of Kraft cardstock using scraps from my stash.  I then ink blended them with Concord & 9th dye inks in Eggplant and Cranberry for the berries and Parsley for the leaves.  I love to ink blend.  You can use colored cardstock of course too.  I glued my berries together with liquid glue

I also used a Fruit Basket die from Lawn Fawn that I cut out with pink faux glitter paper from Kat Scrappiness. I glued the basket to some white colored pattern paper from an older 12 x 12 Michaels paper pad. I also stamped a sentiment from Lawn Fawn’s How You Bean Strawberry add on stamp set with black ink on white cardstock and cut it to fit.  I cut out some more pattern paper to mimic the card sketch from Michaels. It was time to put my card together,  all was glued to a A2 pink card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I had so much fun making this card. I’m actually allergic to raspberries but I still like to craft them on my cards.

I can’t wait to see how you are inspired. Link your card to the original challenge day post and every Sunday the Winner is announced. So much fun.
