Strawberry sweetness

     Yeeuumm!  Don't these look delish!  Tammy has lots of yummy treats to offer in this weeks new release from A Day For Daisies.  
I chose to use these strawberries.  I've colored them with Copics and then went back with a wash cloth and a few drops of Blending Solution to give them some cool texture.  I love how it turned out.  Here's a close up.
     Don't forget our "Yellow and Polka Dots" challenge is still running at the ADFD blog for another week.  We'd love to have you join in .  :-)
