SISTER STASH - All occasion card with beautiful strawberry paper and a great cupcake with a strawberry on top

I really loved this strawberry paper when I found it in my sister's stash of paper crafting supplies she left here a few years ago.  I have been making cards for her here and there but recently decided to make a more serious effort to make her a stash of cards.  

I chose a dark green cardstock for the large card I created to fit in the large envelopes she has on hand.  I trimmed a couple pieces from the paper which nicely featured the strawberries and mounted them to the top and bottom of my card. I trimmed a piece of coordinating textured paper, trimmed the top and bottom edges with scallop decorative scissors and then used a push pin to pierce each scallop.  I adhered this piece to overlap the strawberry ones.  I added a strip of texture white cardstock with a fish tail end.  I added watercolour around the cupcake to just soften the background from stark white as I colour printed this digital image of a cupcake (CLKER) on white cardstock.  To add a bit more texture I ran my pattern tracing wheel along all four edges.  I layered the cupcake image onto dark green cardstock and then mounted it to my card front using 3D foam tape.  Love this one!!
