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:

There's a new Timeless Tuesday at Flourishes today! For this challenge #175, Silke asks us to use our favorite Flourishes stamp along with our favorite die(s) and also our absolute favorite embellishments!! Well.. I have many stamps of Flourishes that I really like a lot, but I chose the Strawberries stamp set, because I just received it and I really love it! I also used the Basketweave Stamp for the background. My favorite Spellbinders die is the biggest of the Floral Ovals set. It's so beautiful! For the embellishments, I love pearls, ribbons, tags, buttons, stitching... So I used all of them! I made a sweet tag with the stamps from the Tiny Flowers and Tags stamp set. I just added a bow from a beautiful May Arts ribbon and also a red velvet ribbon. The tag and the flower button are tied with white twine. I also stitched the edges with my sewing machine.
