I wish I had bright blue ribbon!! Just a note on the lace:  This also belonged to my grandmother so it's practically vintage!

Here's CPS's sketch:

Flourishes challenge FLLCJUL11 - Farm Fresh!

This card is for the Flourishes challenge, Farm Fresh, and is using the CPS layout #226 for this week!

The focal image (GinaK, Enjoy the Sunshine) was stamped in black and then re-stamped on red Bazzil cardstock. The strawberries were cut out and paper-pieced on the line stamp. The leaves and stems were colored using Memento Markers (Cottage Ivy, Potter's Clay).
For the background I stamped the strawberries with Perfect Pearls Gold on brown Bazzil cardstock.
