ATSM #448 - Birthdays

It's birthday time at the Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge.  I created a berry sweet (tee hee!) birthday card that's perfect for summer. 

I started by cutting out a lot of strawberries which I sponged with Catherine Pooler Rockin' Red for brightness and Distress Oxide Aged Mahogany for shading. I didn't to add too much bulk so for the seeds I colored a piece of printer paper in black as a backing for the strawberries.

The LF Quilted Hearts Backdrop reminded me of the seeds plus mirrored the basket grid pattern. I thought about making it on white on blue but thought it would be too visually cluttered.  I'll save that for a different card.  

I originally cut the LF Birthday out of Doodlebug Lily White Glitter Cardstock but decided it didn't show up enough so used it as a sassy shadow for the one I ombre colored.
