Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge.
When I saw this new set, Cherries and Peaches, I had an instant flashback to my childhood. Big Grand daddy used to call me, "Little Kessie, my sweet Peach." I know, it's a VERY long nickname, but it fit. According to him, I was "fuzzy," or hard to know on the outside, but once someone got to know me, I was super sweet. I guess I'm still like that most of the time.
The image was stamped on European Watercolor paper in Memento Rich Cocoa. Next, it was colored in with Copic Markers and cut out. The left background was stamped with Flourishes' new Basket Weave and the other was stamped with Birds and Vine.

Do you ever get tired of me telling you how fabulous your watercolouring is? Well those peaches are no exception. Love the way you have captured the light on them. They look so real. Love the brown tones you used to enhance the colour of the peaches and that perfect little bow. Wonderful job....
