One of my favorite card-making challenges is Craft Roulette. By spinning the roulette wheel, you are presented with four parameters with which you are to make a card. This week's parameters were:
* Project - an A2 card
* Color - Valentines
* Element - February
* Random - Metallic or Foil
After much deliberation, I created this card:
* an A2 card
* a favorite Valentine color of red
* February is Fabulous Florida Strawberry Month
* Metal "wires" around the basket are silver metallic cardstock.
I didn't have any strawberry stamps, so I had to scour the internet to find some strawberry free clip art, which I printed and cut out. The base of my card is the Karen Burniston Flower Pot Pop-up, into which I glued the individual strawberries. I found some woven basket patterned paper in my stash for the outside of the "basket" and glued some silver cardstock around it to create "wires." I found an appropriate sentiment for the front in a very old stamp set I've had for years.
Craft Roulette always makes you think. Sometimes the answers to the parameters come easy; other times you really have to think hard about it. This one was relatively easy. I look forward to 7:00 on Friday nights each week for a new challenge.
