Hi! This card was made for today's Free 4 All challenge: Make a card that honors your NON-stamping collection.
Well...This is soooooooooooo weird..but I collect Pears! NOT real ones...I also Collect "sugared fruit," but I save that for another card! LOL I have an entire collection of pear ornaments for our Christmas tree. And, this stamp set, a Sneak Peek of Pears and Hollyhock, was inspired by my collection. (It worked out great, didn't it?)
The panels are outlined with a Paint Pen ala NANCYRUTH. I also added gold dots. The Pear was stamped in Adirondack Pitch Black and then colored in with Memento Markers. Next, I sponged in various Palette inks for the yellow/orange color.
Finished size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Total Time to complete: 48 minutes...That paint pen is a pesky varmit!

Oh, this is SOOO beautiful! This makes ME want to collect pears! (or at least buy that stamp LOL) I love the flowers on the pear, and how the orange just pops. Awesome!

OMGosh, what a stunning card. LOVE the new pear and hollyhock stamp. If your tree is anything like your paper creations, it is sure to be a master piece.
