hi there,
Here is the card I made for the Inspiration Challenge today. My inspiration was this coaster set: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php...ng_id=29864544
I used the soon to be released set from Innovative Stamp Creations called Fruitful. I used some MS paper to stamp the pear 2x's and sponged the edges then mounted using foam dots to get a 'tole' effect . The leaves were foam mounted too. I stamped the frame twice then mitred the corners so I could glue it together into a frame and the lines would go in the right direction. Added the sentiment and the ribbon and button and faux stitching on the corners.
Hope you like it and thanks so much for looking.
Karen

I just love your paper pieced pear!! (Say that 3 times fast!) Great layout and I like the faux stitching! I had to re-read your description to know it wasn't real stitching!! Great card!
