Strawberries.

There's a Sweet Celebration Challenge at Flourishes! I chose the Strawberries stamp set. The sentiment, stamped on vellum comes also from the same set. I put some tiny gold glass beads on the flowers. The white background is embossed with a Sizzix embossing folder called Plaid. I stitched the edges, added a velvet ribbon, some twine and a few pearls to finish off the card. I'm sorry, but I had to use the flash to take the last picture because it was already so dark when I had to enter the card to Chupa's challenge! I later took better photos:





The layout is based on Chupa's sketch:

    Thanks for the kind words that you left about my hat-stands. Butchy is a good little helper, and I think he's pretty cute, too.
    His favorite job around the house is keeping the kitchen floor clear of crumbs, LOL.
