The challenge this week on
Squigglefly is to use fruit on your card--it can be your image or embellishments. Well since we're finally in Springtime it seems like a natural opportunity. I tell you I was a little stumped by this at first, but when I started working on some cards this week, I found this great strawberry paper by The Paper Patch called Garden Strawberries. And~click~ I suddenly had the song "Strawberry Fields Forever" in my head! This image called "
Slow & Steady Sally by Cheryl Alger" actually shows her on a tightrope I believe with a ladybug. I decided to use that curvy line as a guide for a Field of strawberries she was walking on. With the blue sky background and the Juicy Birthday sentiment, I think it will be a big Smile Maker for a friend's young daughter!
I love how you used fruity patterned paper under Cheryl's image! Very ingenius! Come look at mine-I used another of Cheryl's images in much the same way! LOL Two great crafting minds thinking alike!
