Welcome back to Inspiration Station and a lovely summery image for you for June. I'm actually nibbling on some strawberries grown in my garden at the moment. The weather has been far too hot in the UK over the past week - we are not kitted out for the heat in our homes - luckily my craft room is a bit cooler so I can escape it.
I was wondering what to do for this month's inspiration for you when I suddenly remembered a very old Clearly Besotted stamp set I have which must be over 5 years old. How do we as crafters do that? We suddenly remember something we have in our stash from years ago. The set was called Simply Scrumptious.
I even found that I had the matching dies for the wreath and the strawberries which was a miracle! I created the background with an old SU stencil to re-create the weave of the basket. I then used a Lavinia Stamps stencil mask for the inner circle. I stamped the wreath and used the die to cut it out. I added various Distress Inks for the various greens. I stamped the strawberries and used the dies to cut those out too.
I also then remembered another little Clearly Besotted stamp I had of the strawberry mouse so she had to be included, the set was called Feeling Fruity and I thought the sentiment was just perfect.
