The Pixie Cottage Challenge #76 - Sketch and/or Strawberries and Cream

It's Wednesday so it means another challenge here at The Pixie Cottage!
As always we have 2 parts to the challenge and you can choose either or both to play along with.
We have a fabulous sketch and our theme this week is "Strawberries and Cream"
We'd like to see the obvious and the not so obvious with this theme. You could use strawberries and cream as images or maybe as the colors of, this is a little stretched but, a tennis themed card as Wimbledon is on and strawberries and cream are a Wimbledon favorite! LOL


Remember you can use the sketch or the optional technique or both!
The randomly picked winner will win two stamps of their choice from the Pixie Cottage Collection. The winner will be announced on the Friday after the challenge ends.

Now on to other news!
Apologies for the time it has taken to get our design team together. I am excited to say we have selected five new talented members to add to The Pixie Cottage!! Please welcome these five ladies: Kobie, Nancy, Amber, Wendy and Karen! I am sure you will be inspired by their work! You can find links to their blogs in the right sidebar, so stop by and visit them! A warm welcome to these talented ladies.
We have recently had to say goodbye to some of favorite designers, all the best to Adrina, Tish (aka ARTish) and Carla. Now don't worry, Tish is still drawing stamps for The Pixie Cottage, and who knows maybe an occasional card for the challenge!!

It is also the last week that we have a card from our June guest, Sheena from Time Well Wasted
