A Fruitful Harvest
The challenge at Mod Squad this week is to use something with fruit or harvest theme.   I went immediately to my Flourishes stamps as I love how Marcella draws her images.  This one of Pears is amazing.  I heat embossed the image with white, and colored with copics.  Orginally, I was going to do a watercolor, so I used watercolor paper.  Copics still work, but not as well.  I partially cut out the image and used adhesive dots to adhere it to the DP.  The sentiment is from the same set.
 
Notice the matching envelope!  A good way to use up some of the 12 X 12 scrapbook paper.
 
Here is a close up of the flowers.  I wanted them to stand out a little more, so I used copic  BG10 to outline them. 
I added a paper bow and some straw like stuff that I bought at a craft fair. 
 
Thanks for stopping.  I really enjoy all of the comments from everyone, if you care to leave one.
