You’re a Peach

This week has been positively fabulous!
 
First, I was a winner for my entry into Paper Crafts Magazine’s  February Gallery Challenge!
 
And yesterday, the Papertrey Ink Team chose to feature my Fun Foam Fruit cards as the Make-It-Monday project of the day!
 
Talk about fantastic! 
As I’m sure you know, receiving recognition for your work is a great feeling and I really appreciate the encouragement.  
I must say though – the comments I get on this blog may be the best encouragement of all! 
I love reading each one (sometimes more than once) and I love learning about the fabulous people who have taken a second to visit my blog. 
I usually visit the blogs of those who leave comments, so I can see what kinds of fun craftiness they are up to!
After my Fun Foam Fruit Project and the recognition I received – I am feeling positively PEACHY! (I know, I know…probably going overboard with the fruit puns).
 
At any rate, I thought I’d give my fruit themed cards one last hoorah…
 
I finally put some ink on the PTI Fruitful stamp set and came up with this simple little card. 
 
I used the same technique as Nichole Heady for inking the peach image – it add such dimension to the image!
 
Thanks for stopping by for some Damask Love!
 
Supplies (All PTI unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Fruitful
Paper: Melon Berry, Berry Sorbet, Kraft, Rustic Cream
Ink: Stampin  Up (Tangerine Tango, Apricot Appeal), Vivid dye ink (Olive Green)
Other: MS Word (contact me for font info), jute twine, Spring Mix vintage buttons, Berry Sorbet ribbon

Keep on crafting with these other posts
