Hi Everyone
new goodies arrived courtesy of the man in brown, today! I loved this new set the minute I saw it - and the letterpress plate, too.
I used the new Lucky Limeade card stock along with Soft Suede. I softened the base card stock using tea stain, as I wanted to tone the color down and make it a little more Old Olive. The color under the pear is much brighter - and that is the raw Lucky Limeade.
The sentiment is from Notably Ornate and it was punched using the Modern Label Punch. I used Versamark on the letterpress plate to give a tone on tone color.
The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso and the peark is colored with copics.

I was directed back to your card..and really enjoy reading your great description of how you put it all together...including the tea staining to soften the base colour.
Such a pretty card.

WOW Jaydee, this is FABULOUS. I was tempted to purchase that stamp set, but didn't know how to use it. Now I do and don't have it. Oh well, there's still time. Beautiful job!
