Keep taking the strawberries

This is a long card which opens at the left, which was no mean feat... well, I had to join the colours so I thought I’d make a feature of it. Not sure about this at all, it’s a bit bonkers and I think there’s too much Old Olive (as if that’s possible!) on the left. But I kept adding more and more elements until I thought I’d better stop.

I coloured the strawberry with Stampin’ Write markers. To create the faux stitching (which went a bit wrong – I think there are supposed to be gaps), pierce a row of holes, then join them up with a white gel pen.
