It's my turn to hostess our Just Us Girls Challenge #792 and it is Word Week. I chose Containers as the word which can mean a vase, bucket, jar, basket, box, mug, cup, glass, bowl, pitcher, kettle, etc. Some sort of container that is preferably holding something. My card has wire baskets that are holding fresh strawberries and cherries.

Products I used:
The Greetery - Market Basket dies
My Favorite Thinkgs - Sweet as Pie die
Spellbinders - Delicious Decorations dies
Altenew - Masonry Wall 3D Embossing folder
Distress ink pad
Concord &9th ink pad
Silver card stock
I started by ink blending scraps of white card stock with 2 reds and 2 green inks. Then I die cut the strawberries, cherries and their leaves from these scraps. Next, I die cut the baskets. Then I played with arrangements of the fruit to see if I had enough to fill the baskets. There is a background piece for the different sized baskets, so I die cut those and ink blended them to match the fruit that they would hold. I adhered the berries to the backs, then adhered the baskets over them. I knew I wanted the masonry wall and plank floor, so I prepared them and adhered them to the A2 white card base.
I die cut the sentiment and stamped and heat embossed the "love you" on a scrap of black card stock. After those were adhered, the card was complete!
We hope you will join us this week. We love seeing your creations in our gallery!
