Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! This week we have a brightly colored cake!

SWEET STRAWBERRY

I love the pink strawberries at the bottom of the cake, so I concentrated on using those as my inspiration. The Sweet Strawberry stamp set was a PERFECT choice along with our NEW Polished Pink In Color!

Stampin’ Details:

- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Polished Pink cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock with the Sweet Strawberry greeting stamped with Memento Black about 1/2 way down the left side.
- Three strawberry outlines were stamped with Polished Pink Ink on Polished Pink cardstock, three leaves and stems were stamped with Granny Apple Green Ink on Granny Apple Green cardstock, three small flowers were stamped with Daffodil Delight on Basic White cardstock. All were punched with the Strawberry Builder Punch, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Champagne Rhinestone Jewels were added to the center of the flowers.

That’s it!!! VERY simple card, really! OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!

Four strawberry outlines were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock with Poppy Parade Ink inside. The stems with Memento Black outline and Granny Apple Green Ink for the inside. The leaves were stamped Garden Green Ink and the inside with Granny Apple Green. The flowers were stamped with Daffodil Delight Ink.
