Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 253-The Perfect Pear

 

It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!  This week's sketch calls for a square design.  I took a little inspiration from yesterday's Clear and Simple Stamps Create with Love Craftathon and created a love themed card in a non-traditional color scheme.

I used the pears from the Perfect Harvest set as my focal image.  I die cut two pears from white cardstock and filled them in with the matching solid images, then adhered them to a round panel.  The top pear was adhered with foam tape for a little dimension.  I stamped a teeny, tiny red heart from the Taglines:  Critters set in red ink between the pears for a contrasting pop of color.

I topped a gray cardstock square with a strip of patterned paper (it's from a Halloween themed paper pad!) and a lime green cardstock square.  I used a strip of silver washi tape across the panels to add a a little sparkle to the design.  Once the tape was in place, I added the image panel on top.  I stamped the "we make the perfect pear" sentiment from the Perfect Harvest Fillers set in green ink beneath the tape, then arranged a trio of gray enamel dots around the lime panel.  I adhered the finished panel to a lime card base.

To play along, just create a card based on the sketch and link it up on Karen’s blog. For lots of inspiration be sure to check out what the other Sweet Sunday Sketch stampers have created for you this week. Here’s where to find them:
