Strawberry Christmas

In New Zealand, we have Christmas in the middle of our summer holidays.  Strawberries are fairly plentiful at that time - so I often associate strawberries with Christmas!


I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Sketch

Catch The Bug - Photo Inspiration (Fruit and Vegetables)

CHNC - Anything Christmas
http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge2.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/chnc-challenge-extra-for-october.html

I have used some Christmas papers for the background. Matting is red cardstock.  The sentiment is an acrylic stamp that came with a magazine (I think it was Cardmaking in Easy Steps).  The image is from Bugaboo Stamps and has been coloured with copic markers R29, R27, R46, G99, G85, E00, RV23.  I have also added some small pink pearls and two glitter domes.
