CDD Bear Holding Strawberry Magnet

Made this magnet using a Craftin Desert Diva digi, Bear Holding Strawberry, that I selected in a prize win.

Printed the digi 5" x 7" size. I discovered that I can color better if the digis are printed this size. Colored digi with Crayola pencil colors.

Used a sketch which you can see below.

Used Tim Holtz stencil with Texture Paste. Allowed time to dry and then cut out a piece.

Embossed and cut out a piece.

Used a strawberry die for sentiment tag. Stamped sentiment. Embossed with Swiss Dots emb folder to give it more of a realistic strawberry look/feel.

Used flowers from strawberry die for embellishments. 

Distressed pieces using Tim Holtz paper distresser & Distress Ink.

Added a wobble to back of top layer w/ digi on it.
