We are a great pear Card

Created this 'We are a great pear.' Card
using a Paper Crafting World digi 'Pear
Flourished' that was a freebie during Day 1
of the 12 Days of Christmas hosted by
Cooking With Cricut.

Stamped the pears with Peachy Keen faces.
Embossed the pear digis with D'vine Swirl
embossing folder.

Used layers of paper from Martha Stewart.

Used foam adhesives to attach pears to the
card to give 3D affect.

Added some stickles to make the pears
sparkle.

Made a bow with bow maker & attached it to
the pear on right.

Used Joys Life Yummy Pun stamp for

sentiment.

THE CHALLENGE
Create a project using the photo as inspiration. Interpret the photo ANY way you'd like, just be sure to let us in on your creative process!

When I looked at the photo I saw fruit and green colors of Summer. Even though I did not see a pear pictured I figured I would use fruit as my inspiration and use green colors.

  9. Hi Melissa!

    Love the pun, very creative! I have to admit, when I saw the photo my mouth watered just a bit. Boy do I miss summertime strawberries! You did a great job pulling the inspiration off the photo and the swirls, and faces, on the pears are so neat!
