Straw berry best wishes Happy Birthday Card

Created this Birthday Card with a Strawberry theme in mind.

Used Preserves Cricut cartridge for the Strawberry images.
Used white cardstock for Base of card, red cardstock for banner tags and layers of polka dotted cardstock & strawberry scrapbook paper. Distressed the edges of the Strawberry pieces with paper distresser. Inked the edges of the Strawberry with Tim Holtz Distress Inks. Bought the Tim Holtz Summer Distress Inks (mowed grass, picked raspberry & salted ocean) this wk. First time using them. I really like the colors. Used Tim Holtz mowed grass, picked raspberry & walnut stain on the Strawberry pieces.
