My hubby and I have been picking peaches off of one of our trees this month, so for this challenge, I just HAD to put peaches on my card today. :-) I stamped the peaches according to the multiple step stamping they had laid out, but I didn't like the harsh lines. So I went over them with water and added a little watercoloring here and there to soften the harsh lines from the stamping.
I sponged some pale blue ink on the top of the card, added the die cut branch, rounded the peaches with my fingers and adhered them with foam tape, and added the sentiment below the peaches. The "enjoy" die cut was actually white, and I didn't like it, so I watercolored it with some Olive ink to echo the colors of the leaves. :-)

Holly, I can almost smell these peaches! What a luscious fruit they are, and your coloring has made them look so real!!

What a sweet card this is, Holly. I can see why, after picking peaches from your tree, you'd want to create a card from something you love. How wonderful to have fruit trees on your property. Love those peaches and the great CAS design to go with them.
