Flourishes Farm Fresh Challenge



Not long from now, juicy and fresh produce will start to sprout and find its way to farmer's markets in every corner of America. Let's capture some farm freshness on our cards or creations. Use fruit or veggies as a focus! FLLCJUL11. Deadline is July 15th at 5 PM Eastern.

I'm using the gorgeous Cherries and Peaches stamp set for my project today. I stamped the image on Classic White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with the Poppy Collection and the Evergreen Collection Copic markers. I cut it out with Standard Circle Nestablities and my Grand Calibur machine and added a Scalloped Circle mat, sponged the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink and popped it up on foam. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a flag die from the Nested Pennant Spellbinders set. I added a die cut doily and some vintaged-up seam binding and I love it. It’s OK to say that, isn’t it? :)

Be sure to check out the inspiration provided by the rest of the Flourishes Senior Design Team and then I hope you'll enter the challenge!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
