The challenge for to-day was 'falling fruit'. Now...I have one million seven hundred and forty thousand stamps (according to Mr Noofy) but have found out that I only own one fruit..this pear!!! Go figure! Note to self...I must take care of that situation ASAP! Oh I have lots of pumpkins but wasn't sure if they are considered fruits or vegetables and I wouldn't want to anger the challenge police by making that mistake. LOL I stamped the 'fruit' with stazon then coloured the reverse with markers and used a pergamano tool to highlight the pear. The die cut is from Marianne Designs and the folder is my new one from cuttlebug.

Sue, this is fantastic! Love your one and only pear...and the pumpkin-colored, embossed back panel. Your technique sounds intriguing....and your results are beautiful. Love the added piercing.

Your pear is wonderful and I love the EF (never seen it before) and the die cut frame - gorgeous card. You can never have too many "tools" - every man should understand that.

Awesome! That "lonely" fruit stamp and how you colored it is gorgeous. What a pretty piece of white lace inside the frame - just too adorable of a card.

Beautiful card and w/ that pear image, it may be all you need! LOL on the quantity of stamps. My DH asked if I was ever going to get rid of some. He never asked again when he saw the horrified look on my face.
