Berry, Berry Sweet!

Hi. Design team member Koren Wiskman here. I hope that I can inspire you to create something fun with all of these awesome T4TD supplies. Today I am using the Fruitiful Friends and Squeeze the Day Stamp Sets and Coordinating Diesto create this project. If you follow me on social media you may remember me sharing a short video of a rather stunningly designed can of seltzer . If not, don't worry, you didn't miss anything but a well designed package. It was pale pink with pops of bright green and red. Plus, it was quite yummy to drink. Here is my card inspired by the berry vodk-arita can. 

The card size is A2 (4.25in x5.5in.) The front panel is cut to 3.25in x 4.75in. This is my favorite size card to create. I have tried so many others but this size is the one that keeps my heart happy. My card bases are typically made using a neutral gray cardstock. These two details about my cards rarely change. 

Background

I used a pale pink cardstock panel. I dripped just a bit of the green watercolor used on the rest of the images onto the background. I wanted to fill in a bit of the greenery. 

Focal Images

For this card, I changed it up a bit. I stamped the images of fruit that I wanted to use from the Time for Tea Designs Fruitiful Friends and Squeeze the Day Stamp Sets. I stamped them onto watercolor paper using waterproof black ink. I then cut out my images using the Coordinating dies before coloring them. That's right, I watercolored them after they were cut out. I knew that I wanted a very abstract look much like the can I referenced above. So, to achieve this I just painted portions of the images using watercolors. I used bright green and red inspired by the can. I also added a few dots here and there. 

The greenery was also cut out and then watercolored using the same colors. 

Sentiment

I stamped and heat embossed the "You're Berry, Berry Sweet!" sentiment from the T4TD Fruitiful Friends Stamp set and cut it out with it's Coordinating Die. 

I hope that I've inspired you to create something today. Check out the Fruitiful Friends and Squeeze the Day Stamp Set as well as the Coordinating Dies in the T4TD shop.
