It's August already and Time Out has an appropriate Inspired by Words challenge.
I went an unexpected way with my card for this challenge.
One of the things I love about summer is strawberry shortcake. Not that you can't get strawberries year round but they seem better in the summer somehow, especially when they are locally grown. The berries are from Honey Bee and are growing in a barrel from TH that was covered with Mica Spray. The background is a PFS coverplate that was foiled with pewter. Yes it is true you can foil with a coverplate.
This challenge is sponsored by Varada Sharma who is awarding our winner a $25 store credit.
There is plenty of inspiration from the Design Team and our guests so be sure to check out their cards on the blog.

Yum! Those berries look good enough to eat Bobby! Great background too - thanks for the tip on foiling with a coverplate (and thanks for making it even harder to resist getting into hot foiling 😉)! Hugs, Kate!
So pretty and delicious!
Almost forgot ,,, belated birthday wishes too!
One of my favorite dies, Bobby! Using the barrel to ground them was a super idea. Strawberries definitely taste better in the summer! xxx
I'm with you and the shortcake - Mr. Fussy, not so much. But I found the way to his heart by adding my almond bars instead of shortcake!
I love the realism of your berries and MUST remember to use those mica sprays - what a fabulous finish!
