This was a simple card created for a friend at work who was recently blessed with a sweet baby girl. She named her new daughter "Ichigo", which is Japanese for "Strawberry"... so of course I couldn't resist using San-X's Berry Puppy for her card.
I used MTC to create cutfiles for Ichigo's name (Arial font) and Berry Puppy. (I thought it would be cute to add "chan" to baby's name, a suffix used by the Japanese to names when referring to young children.) Baby's name and puppy were cut several times and layered with foam tape for dimension. Used my Copics to add the details and shading.
For the base card, I used the round doily cut from the Cricut Cake Basics cartridge welded in Design Studio. Strawberries are from the Simply Charmed cartridge and tiny scattered hearts were punched using a Fiskars hand punch.
When I first learned my friend had named her daughter "Ichigo", I thought it was such an unusual name for a little girl...but then, Gwyneth Paltrow named her daughter "Apple"... so maybe this is a new trend? When you think about it, there are so many cute strawberry decorated things for little girls out there...and I'll bet little Ichigo already has a roomful!
Omgosh Eunice....
