Blogger Challenge: Week 193

This week’s blogger challenge is a color challenge featuring peach, white, and green. My initial thoughts were that this combination would be a tough one. But, a package full of new goodies from i {heart} papers arrived in my mailbox yesterday and inspiration struck!

I used the pair of pears from the My Silly Valentine set from Lawn Fawn, a line brand new to IHP, for my focal image. The fun image and sentiment combos in this set work great year-round, not just for Valentine's Day! The pears are colored with Copic markers and cut out. I set them on a pair of layered circles using dimensional dots.

To set the pears off from the pear-colored card base, I attached a panel of peach patterned paper (ignore the kind of pinkish hearts on it!), machine-stitched along one side, then put the pears in place. The coordinating sentiment is stamped on a peach cardstock banner die cut. It's set on the cardfront just underneath the pears to ground them on the circle. I added a fun striped twill piece at the top of the panel for some texture.
