New Day Card

I didn't think I'd have a chance to participate in the Week 26 challenge at the "Less Is More" blog, which is to use fruit or fruit colours on your CAS card. However, as soon as I spotted my row of pears stamp last night - this card practically made itself. I love it when that happens!

The photo is totally skewed though, because it's almost dark and I couldn't find anywhere with decent lighting. But you get the idea.  :-)

The pears (A Stamp In The Hand) were inked with Stampin' Up Creamy Caramel ink, then I used a Crayola green marker on the stems and leaves before stamping. After the pears were stamped, I very LIGHTLY added some shadows with chalk and a Q-Tip.

I punched (EK Success)  a strip of kraft card stock with large scallops, scored the strip in the center and folded it over the spine of the card.  A little white grosgrain ribbon and a rub-on (Stampin' Up) and the card is done.

Note: the stamp and the ink colours are both discontinued. I've had them a L*O*N*G time.  :-) Card is A2 sized.

Thanks for stopping by today!
