Two of my favorite challenges have partnered for this biweekly period: Double Trouble Challenge #29 and Try Stampin' on Tuesday #409. The challenge guidelines include using the sketch from TSOT along with their optional theme, National Brown Bag Day. The DTC challenge requires using paper from paper bags or Kraft then it's your choice if you wish to add the DTC twist, strawberries.
I downloaded a strawberry image, resized it into two sizes, printed, colored both images with Copics and fussy cut them. The sketch is not symmetrical so I decided to emphasize this with bright colors. The card base is like Kraft. Red cardstock and strips of green and white were adhered to the base. A scrap of burlap was adhered to give the card a rustic feel. The fancy circles were die cut from dotted green paper and white cardstock. The large strawberry image was adhered to the stacked circles and added using foam tape. A few strawberries were added at the bottom of the card. The sentiment was computer generated, layered with cardstock and adhered with foam tape. The inside was lined with white cardstock and decorated with the smaller strawberry image.
We hope you'll join us at both challenges. For details, visit the blogs for DTC #29 and TSOT #409. You could win a very nice prize! The challenges run from
Monday, May 20, through Sunday, June 2, 2019.

Love the bright red background with the strip of burlap, burlap and strawberries go together and nice way of bringing in the Kraft color as well.
