I laid some Gesso and added some torn watercolour paper. I used an inkpad to add some colour and found that this mixed with the Gesso to form a multicoloured background. I stamped my 'ART' stamp in red and tied some thin thread across the card and tied it in a knot at the front.
Where is the thread and knot? Weeell .... when I added the backing sheet and trimmed to size I sortof trimmed the sides of the thread!?!?! I managed to strip the thread off the card and added some ribbon in place - this may smell gorgeous as it came from a Panetone box!
The base for this card came from packaging and it seemed a shame to cover the picture over. I added some punched flowers along the lower edge and red velvet ribbon along the sides. With strawberries one has to 'enjoy the day'.
I used a pink base card and framed it with my shiny washi tape. I printed out the sentiment, swiped a red inkpad over it, cut it to size and attached it at the top and the bottom of the card. Another Flower Fairy (Fuschia) tag was stripped to the top layer and placed it at an angle across the tag. A small red sponge heart placed top right completed the card.
I have received these by return...
Red Onions .... for cooking?
