Tuesday Throwdown with Fred, She Said

     I'm so sorry I missed out on doing a DT card for last week's Tuesday Throwdown challenge but the computer is now up and running and I'm happily back to my DT duties.  This week, our challenge "EnTWINEd" (use twine) is sponsored by Fred, She Said, who generously provided the digi images for the entire team to use.  I chose "Emma in the Strawberry Patch", which comes with both the main image of Emma and the strawberries which I used as background.  I sized the strawberries to be much larger so that I could use them as background (one of the benefits of digital images.)

I used a sketch from My Time Made Easy and the color scheme is from Lily Pad Cards, pink, red, and green.

    

     Both Emma and the large strawberries (which I used as the circles in the sketch) were colored with my Touch Twin markers.  The sentiment was printed on my computer and both it and the image were matted with black CS, then adhered to red CS.  I used a corner punch on all the corners of the image and the matting.  I added the twine to the side of the matted image.   There's a story behind the sentiment, too -- my hubby loved his strawberries more than anything else in the world and he always told me I was the only thing he loved more than strawberries.  If he was still with us, I'd have to give him this as his Valentine card.  :-D   God keep you, sweetheart.

     I used polka dot dp on the card front, then layered on the large strawberries, and the matted image.  Each piece of dp or CS is from a scrap.  I didn't cut into anything new or full size.  I put a gem on the CS bow (another gift from Brenda!) and added three more to the bottom of the card.  I wanted a CAS feel to this card so left the embellishment minimal.
