My pre-order for the next Online Exclusive drop in July arrived during the week, so I'm having a bit of an explore around the suite to see what it can do. My pick was the
Painterly Pears suite - a bit out of my comfort zone being fruit based but it's got such a lovely vintage feel, I've given it a go.
I've gone for a very straight forward sketch interpretation so I could play around with the DSP, the stamps and the die cuts from the
Perfectly Pears bundle. The DSP that I've used is the moodiest of the lot, with a Secret Sea background and a profusion of flowers, pears and foliage. Certainly one to use in small doses! The reverse is a more restrained Darling Duckling hand-drawn grid which I've used for the second strip of the sketch.
I stamped the pear in Old Olive and die cut it, adding leaves and stem from a larger die cut from the
Perfectly Pears set. I built up the background using various die cuts from the set, mounted onto a circle from
Spotlight on Nature.
I finished off with a trio of Secret Sea
Sparkle Dots, also a part of the suite.
I'm happy with the result and now that I've seen the products in person and used some of them, I'm happy with my pre-order choice too! I think you'll be seeing more of this suite!
These products, and many others, will be available as Online Exclusives from 1 July.
