I adore the simplicity of the pear image in the Stampin’ Up! Penciled Pear stamp set. The images in the stamp set have the perfect amount of artful shading “built in.” It looks so chic stamped with Pecan Pie ink on Old Olive card stock.
WHAT I LOVE! The Stampin’ Up! Countryside Corners die collection offers six different sizes of octagons (plus a mini flag die). They are proportioned to “nest” when you layer and formed the focal point for my pretty pear.
