As a bit of a reward, I gave myself some time to play in my craft room. I used the latest sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches as inspiration.
Really, the Painterly Pears DSP is so pretty in a vintage kind of way that it does all the hard work for you! I cut a banner using one of the Party Banner dies but extending the length to get the size I wanted.
Then I stamped and coloured the pair of small pairs from Perfectly Pears before die-cutting it. I also die cut a trellis piece in Basic White for the pears to sit against.
I stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea and die cut it using a die from the bundle but also cut a shadow piece in Old Olive. To finish off, I added in a trio of Sparkle Dots in Secret Sea. The darker colour, which tied in with the stamped outlines and sentiment, helped take some of the 'sugariness' out of the paper.
The card front is embossed with my current favourite folder, Exposed Brick.
