Mary gave the design team an extra challenge this time - to make a CAS (clean and simple) card. At the half way point later in the month - the third Wednesday - we will all be featuring a fussy card using the same stamp we used today.
I used the "blackberries" stamp - and colored them up as raspberries. I have both growing in my yard - but the raspberries are my favorite! I'm not so CAS a gal so I added a few extra details to this one - I debossed a pretty die cut frame over the image, and added a bit of colorful twine to break up all that white!

Yummy raspberries and I love the debossed frame for them.
ReplyDeleteJeanne, this is beautiful. I love the debossed frame around the image, and your coloring is fab! Lucky you, with fresh berries in your own yard! Yum!
ReplyDeleteThought it was a painting on a plate when I saw the thumbnail, so vintage elegant! Lovely CAS!
ReplyDeleteAs always you totally rocked this challenge! I love your sweet berries and your embossed frame is stunning. Can't wait to play along!
ReplyDeleteThe debossing looks so pretty--just a touch of texture on your all white background. Love that you chose to do raspberries--yum. Their color is gorgeous.
