Thanks Berry Much

Good Kitchen Sink Stamps Monday to you!  It was such a pretty weekend here - it's so great to have nice weather.  It's put me in the mood for summer and summer fruit - I must be on a fruit kick lately after last week's Peach card! :)

Today I used Multi-Step Berries for my card but used some non-realistic colors for my strawberries. They do look pretty though don't they?  Here's the recipe:
Strawberries:
Step 3 - Rose Bud (stamped off)
Step 4 - Rose Bud
Step 2- Angel Pink 
Step 1 - Angel Pink (stamped off)
Leaves
Step 3 - Bamboo Leaves
Step 2 - Bamboo Leaves (stamped off)
Step 1- New Sprout

The sketch is Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch (#66) - I love the strips down the side! It was fun going through my paper to find the best pieces to use!  I also used my new large scalloped circle Nesties and some fun green pearls.

Please take a few minutes to check out what the rest of the KSS Crew made today!
