TUESDAY THROWDOWN CHALLENGE

Be sure to stop by Tuesday Throwdown and see the teams wonderful creations!

The challenge today is Texture and Dimension. We had a choice of several
images from our sponsor My Grafico. Our images are all from the
Pretty Primitive Set and I chose Strawberry Jam. The image is water colored
and then I drew and colored another strawberry to pop up for added
dimension then cut the imagewith a Spellbinder label 21.

Very frustrated because my camera cannot zoom close enough to really see
the details so I've included several pic so you might be able to get a better
idea of what the card looks like. It has lots of texture and dimension
in person.I cut four squares of the dp and embossed with the dotted swiss
folder then stitched onto the background.
The edges of the image were distressed, a little faux stitching and then
foam dotted on. The red edge was punched with a MS checkerboard
and attached to the underneath piece.
I used a SU scalloped punch for the sentiment and then attached to the red
cut with a Spellbinder scalloped oval and foam dotted on. A little bow and
button finished it off. I made three strawberry boxes and embossed them
to go with the card. Stuffed a few little chocolate kisses in them.
Tomorrow is my Sweet Mama's Birthday and this is for her, an
amazing lady~~~ 83 years old!

Supplies used: SU & KB papers, Dotted Swiss
embossing folder, SU Scalloped oval punch,
Martha Stewart checkerboard punch,
Spellbinder Scalloped oval & label 21, Misc.
ribbon and button plus some candy kisses :)

Awesome coloring, Davi. You really did add a lot of dimension. I am in awe of people who can create such color. I can manipulate paper well, but ask me to color in an image and it looks very elementary. :)
