Happy Saturday Peeps!!
It is time for another challenge over on the Our Creative Corner Blog. This week our challenge hostess is Kristin Tierney from LillyBeth Designs.
Her challenge for us is:
Fun with Fruit - Summer is the best time for fresh fruit, this week make a creation focusing on fruit images!
She offered up these images for inspiration:
I was totally inspired by this beautiful creation by Cindy Beach. I loved the look of her card so I chose to use the same papers and stamp set. I changed my card up a bit from hers to make it my own but she was my total inspiration for this card. I hope she doesn't mind.
The base of the card is whisper white and then I followed that up with some Pool Party card stock and then the Designer Paper is from the Stampin Up "Domestic Goddess" DSP. This paper is amazing, I love the colors and patterns in this pack! The other color of card stock I used on this card is Calypso Coral.
The image here is from the Stampin' Up "Cherish Friendship" stamp set. I stamped with black stazon onto some white cardstock and used my aqua painter and ink pads to color. The sentiment is from an older retired hostess set, my box doesn't have a name on it and I don't remember the name. I matted my image with a die cut from the Perfect Pennant Die and added a bunch of basic Pearls. The scallops are made with the Tasteful Trim Die. I also used some of the pretty Calypso Coral ruffled ribbon.
Be sure to check the Our Creative Corner Blog to see what the rest of the design team came up with for this fun challenge. I hope you can find some time to play along and if you do don't forget to link it up over on the Our Creative Corner Blog so we can all see it!
Thanks for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

Love this card! BTW, the sentiment is from "sweet sentiments" which was current in 2009, in case you were wondering! I kept that set too and integrated it into my Teeny Tiny Wishes set to save space.
This is beautiful, Vicki! Wonderful colouring!!! Can't wait for my SU! order to arrive next week!
Hi Vicki! Wow, wow, WOW!! I just love this gorgeous mix of colors and all of your beautiful details. You have also effectively just beefed up my next SU order with that pennant die and the DSP. Haha! Your coloring is gorgeous, too. Enjoy your day! :)

I love this color combination! It's so pretty and soft. You're amazing with that aqua painter - my images all seem to get fuzzy when I use it... Great job!
