Tutorial Time on Speedy TV Challenge #66

Happy Friday and I hope your week was great.  We had our Marks Finest Papers blog hop this week and it was a great success!!!  Everyone did such beautiful work!!!
Today our tutorial is by Thrifty Stamper.  She is showing us how to use fabric on our cards.  This is one of my favorite things to add to a card.  Here is what I came up with...

I used "Celebrate Big" stamp set to create the strawberries and sentiment.  I die cut some stems and leaves and added them to give the berries some texture.  I used some checked black and white fabric as a background and some small red and white check for a banner and the bow.  The bow is topped with a vintage button.  I also embossed the white card stock.
Well be sure to check out what the rest of the team has created.  Remember if you do a challenge enter it at Tutorial Time to have a chance to win a fun stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by,
Jane
