Berry Special


 

Berry Special…

   Hello friends and welcome!  Today’s card features this super cute new Spring Release set from Lawn Fawn “Berry Special” and Copics coloring.  I chose a clean and simple (CAS) design style for this card, really wanted to show off the cute mice and their yummy berries!  Who wouldn’t enjoy spending a warm sunny spring day picking strawberries with these Berry adorable mice?!  

   To start, I die cut a stitched rectangle from a piece of Neenah solar white cardstock, then stamped and die cut the images using the coordinating dies.  There are so many fun and cute images from this set, it was hard just picking a few to go along with the CAS style.  

   After stamping and die cutting, I chose a red/orange and red/violet Coptic color palette for the berries and some simple greens and browns for the mice/basket and leaves.  Just wanted some simple and easy coloring/shading for the images.

  To finish, I wanted a little more detail for the background but still keeping with the CAS theme, I ink blended a strip pattern using a stencil onto a piece of MFT’s boysenberry cardstock and used the matching ink to ink blend.  I then stamped the sentiment and to adhere the images onto the panel, I chose both foam squares and glue to add a little dimension.  

   Thanks so much for stopping by…hope you have a Berry Special Day and take care!
