Guest Designer - Love To Create Challenge

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  Hope you had a nice weekend and your week is off to a great start!  We were supposed to get lots of rain, but we didn't get a single drop!  Maybe later today we will get a little.  Anyway, I have a project today and some exciting news!  I was invited to be a Guest Designer for the Love to Create Challenge starting today!  The theme is "love of ribbons".  They want to see ribbons on your project. The sponsor is Sami Stamps and I was generously provided with a digi for my project.

Here is my card:
 

My easel card base and mats are SU Real Red and the patterned papers are from Gina K. Designs.  I think they were called Berries and Vines, but I wouldn't swear to it.  The sweet image is "A Basket Full" from Sami Stamps.  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics. The sentiment is computer-generated.  I added a few Wild Orchid Crafts Daisies, some gingham ribbons and a fun wooden strawberry sticker to finish my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:
 

And here is the sentiment:


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Love To Create challenge blog and check out the wonderful designs from the DT!  I am sure they would love it if you would play along!

I am entering my card in the following challenge:
613 Avenue Create #91 (anything goes/option- use a heart)
Incy Wincy Challenge (something old, something new: I used old papers and ribbon and new image and strawberry embellishment)

Have a great day and see you soon!

    Hi, Carla! Congrats on the GDT appointment. The card if fabulous, of course and I love the strawberry theme, so nicely executed. Anchoring the bows with daisies was a very smart design choice. Thanks for leaving this on our front porch here at 613 Avenue Create.

    Such a darling image, Carla, and the gingham ribbons are just perfect with it. I like the big strawberry sticker.
    We didn't get a drop of rain, either. What a disappointment. I have the water sprinkler going right now. Ugh!
