April's Alley: Berry Special

Berry Special

Today's card features the freebie of the week from Delightful Inspiration. I also used the Strawberry image for their designers' challenge of European Inspiration.

I have barely ever left the state of New York, so what do I know about Europe??
But, I thought long and hard about it and thought of French inspired wallpaper - you know, where a design is copied over and over again.... So, I printed the strawberry image in black on white numerous times to make a background of sorts. I then enlarged the immie to color up (with my Bic's) and added a left over piece of lace (says French to me).

Thanks for stopping by!
Huggz,
April

As of December 1, 2009, new FTC guidelines went into effect requiring bloggers to disclose any time they are compensated for endorsing or reviewing products or services. I serve on several design teams and participate in various social media sites where I post projects containing components I have received free, have been compensated for or received perks for in return for posts on this blog. While this may be the case, I would never endorse or mislead you, my readers, by stating an opinion about any product that I did not wholeheartedly believe.
