Are you having warm summer days this July? I hope you're enjoying them! Do you have a favorite summer fruit? I love a really good, locally grown peach. We have the best peach orchards nearby!
This card is all about delicious fruits. Have a look!
Our new challenge at Tic Tac Toe goes live today, and I couldn't wait to go with the Fruit option. I had in mind the Fruit and Summer Colors from top row across, but as I got caught up in making the card, I lost forgot about the patterned paper! Glad there are 9 options per board, as I then went with the diagonal: Layers, Die Cut, and Summer Colors.
I used a medium green card front, with a diagonally striped embossed white panel layered on top. The fruit stamps are from Pinkfresh Studio Fruitalicious. I wanted bright shades so used my Zig markers to color them, and then fussy cut them.
The sentiment is stamped and die cut from Simon Says Stamp Happy Days set. Keeping embellishments simple, I chose a few clear sequins, and used a coat of Glossy Accents on the cherries. Cherries are another of my fruity favorites!
Please enjoy pleasant days, wherever you are, and be sure to play along with the challenge! We love seeing your creations.

Oh, how I love this! I adore fruit stamps and dies, and this one is so pretty with all the delicious colors! It stands out beautifully against the white, too. It's absolutely fabulous in our Double D Potpourri gallery! Thank you for linking up with us!
ReplyDeletePerfect summer card, Cindy. Your fruit is deliciously colored giving a beautiful watercolor look. You actually reminded me to use my Zig markers again!
ReplyDeletePrepared I think you really captured Summer when I look at this card. It is just lovely and you've colored it so well. It was a great way to use fruit stamps. Glad to see you here at Double D Challenge.

First of all, I'm so, so jealous that you have a peach orchard nearby! As for your card, Cindy, it is everything a card reflecting summer should be! I love the bold summery colors and that perfect striped e/f background! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeletePeaches and Ranier cherries are my favorite. We had the Peach Truck come from Georgia to Florida a few weeks ago. They have the best peaches. They come in a semi and you order them ahead of time and pick them up. We got 65 peaches in the box. They were the best. Okay, now to the card. It's very pretty. It reminds us of summer. It's nicely colored. [Bunny]
