a perfect pear


I created this card for 3 challenges

The Play Date Cafe #21-Med pink, pale pink, pale yellow
Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #45
Basic Grey Challenge #16-Tutti Frutti

The colors at the Play Date Cafe are yellow and pink. I have trouble putting these colors together but I am pretty pleased with how this card turned out. The stamps are StampinUp. I colored the pears with Copic markers. I put them on pop dots to make them stand out.I stamped the my friend on the tiny tag. I ran the light pink panels through the Cuttlebug folder. I added ribbon and punches from Martha Stewart. The patterned paper is Two Scoops from Basic Grey. I added pink gems. Thanks for stopping by!

  4. Hi friend. Love your pair of pears! They look puffy, like 3-D, awesome! Pink embossing looks great for the brick wall technique. I'm liking the pink and light yellow too.
