Fruit Basket Appreciation

Heart's Delight Cards, Fruit Basket, Strawberries, Thanks, Occasions 2018, Stampin' Up!

I didn't think I was going to get this bundle when I first saw it. But, as has happened so many times before, once I saw the cute things other people were doing with it, this little bundle ended up in my cart. How did that happen?

I crack myself up, sometimes. Anyhoo, on this chilly day, I thought some strawberries would be lovely. Sadly, the ones in the store aren't ripe and have next to no flavor, so I'll just stick to stamped berries and dream of the strawberry season coming soon.

I don't know what possessed me to make the frames look like that! I'm calling it "twisted frame" LOL. I was going to use just one frame, offset a little bit. It wasn't "enough" so I added the second one. Then I started playing around with the layers, and thought weaving them in and out would be kind of cute and funky. Well, different, anyway.

If you are ever at a loss for color inspiration, I suggest grabbing a piece of Designer Series Paper and using that as inspiration. I started with the Tutti-Frutti DSP and went from there. Real Red, Garden Green, and Lemon Lime Twist do look awesome together!
