Strawberry Fields Continued

Here's the first of the two thank you cards I made with the new Strawberry Fields stamp set.   

I used a SU! dots embossing folder, linen thread and a baby blue gingham paper from my stash for the card base.  I cut a large stitched circle and stamped my bucket-o-strawberries using black Memento ink. TIP: It's important to use dye ink such as Memento for your Copic coloring other wise you could ruin your Copic markers and/or your project. 

I colored the bucket and shadow using cool grey and warm grey Copics for contrast.  I just left the flowers white except the centers.  I used a B00 copic for the blue halo around the image, I love that look and use that specific marker often.

The tag was done by inking up the stamp with black ink then carefully wiping off just the strawberry with a baby wipe then used SU! markers to add the red and green.  And for a final touch I added a linen thread bow.

And here's the second card...

I used yellow gingham paper for this one and just cut out a rectangle from the center to put a frame around the white base.  You could also just add the white rectangle on top but I wanted just a little more depth.

I colored the full main image, and an extra strawberry from the main image plus a couple extra flowers and popped everything up on foam tape.  This card has a lot of dimension...you can almost pick one of the strawberries to eat :o).  Happy almost summer.
