Flourishes Friday Focus

Strawberries22
This week's Friday Focus over at Flourishes is brought to you by Danielle..
She has challenged us to "Kick off Summer"... 

Last week I saw Maki use this Easter Basket set with flowers in it..
What says summer more than these sweet ripe strawberries.
 Colored with copics from the Flourishes Collection sets. 
  I added the awesome lace from the Flourishes Ribbon 
Collection (Ivory Crocheted). I cut out and weaved the
bottom of the card to make it look like my basket.
Be sure to head on over to the Flourishes Blog to see what Danielle cooked
up for her Celebrating Summer Flourishes Focus and...

Check out what the rest of the team has in store this week:

I am also adding this to the Stamping Sister's In Christ Challenge this week.  
Peggysue is hosting this week. I always love her insight.. She challenged 
everyone to make a card with distressing.  She chose this scripture:
Isaiah 64:6, "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our 
righteousness as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; 
and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."
Tomorrow starts the Operation Write Home Blog hop.. Please stop by.. I
have some blog candy to give away..

Also... June 1st is the last day to enter to win my quilted bag, stamps, and
other goodies..  I will pick a winner using random generator that night.

  27. Fresh strawberries here sure do mean the beginning of summer. There is nothing like putting a warm strawberry in your mouth right after picking it. You have certainly captured summer in this card. I absolutely love the basketweaving you've added. Such a wonderful touch.

  28. I am trying so hard to catch up on my blog hopping and not only to stop by once but to take a long visit through recent weeks. I love the patriotic creations you have made (I'm moving backwards) and I just had to stop by here to comment on this clever card. The woven papers coordinating with the basket image are brilliant! Warmest wishes, Lesley
