The Card Concept Challenge #139-Summer Harvest

Hello my stampy friends!

So glad to see you again!

 I took a break during the summer and now I am so happy to be back!

My husband and I did not travel or anything this summer, just stayed home.

I did manage to go to the beach with my sister for a few days in August, and it was heaven!

And now the summer is almost over! 

I'm looking forward to cooler days.

On to my Clean & Layered Style card....

 I was inspired by the beautiful yellow and greens in our newest Inspiration Photo

here at The Card Concept! 

I had recently bought this stamp set from Stampin Up called SEE THE GOOD. 

I fell in love with the pear images right away, and thought they would be a beautiful yellow for the photo.

I used my Misti and stamped the pears with Archival Sunflower ink. Next I added Archival Orange Blossom around the edges with an ink dauber, before stamping again. It made the pears look so realistic! I fussy cut the pears and attached them to a panel of  Whisper White card stock that had been dry embossed with a Stampin Up embossing folder called Tasteful Textures.

Im so glad to be back!

I hope I have inspired you to come join us!!!
