I Picked These For You...

Vicki is Hosting our Word Week at Just Us Girls 

and chose FRUIT.

Some time ago I was browsing with my daughter

in a bed store and came across a pack of napkins

with the above pears and of course I thought of

Vicki's FRUIT Challenge.

I peeled off the layers behind the fruit

and scrunched it up to create some texture.

I then fussy cut out extra pears 

 touched up with rusty brown matte wax

around the edges and popped to the napkin.

String added down the side.

Framed in blue to match the flowers

then an embossed back (a little hard to see)

Sentiment is from STAMPlorations.

Finished with attaching to white square card base.

Head over and check out what fruit our Guest Rosemary

and the Team chose to use on their cards.

Hope to see yours in our Gallery.

Lots of Love!

 I do love a Colour Challenge and recently

found a New One to me at 

AAA Colourful Challenge

and I loved the colour choice and went about

creating my card.

I came across the lovely flower die while I was

sorting out my die cut folders and it just went from there.

I inked up a couple of pieces of w/c paper

with my go to Lindy's Magical's 

Tibetan Poppy Teal, Tainted Love Teal

and Afternoon Delight Denim.

Die cut lots of leaves etc from a variety of suppliers

including some turquoise card stock.

Background has a cover plate for interest,

adding two circle frames with the smaller middle piece

popped with the sentiment and edge inked with

Versafine Clair Warm Breeze.

 Finished with some tiny pearls to centre of flowers

and adhered to turquoise card base.

I had a lot of fun with these colours and time permitting

will ink up another totally different one before this challenge closes.
