This is Sweet as a Peach!

Hey! Thanks for stopping by my little happy spot. Take a look around and hope you enjoy.

We would love to see what card creation you can bring to life. Please consider, taking a minute to post your card creation in our challenge gallery at CAS Colours & Sketches.

Are you ready for a new challenge – a sketch challenge? Holly, our hostess for the entire month of July at CAS Colours & Sketches, has created a really fun sketch to inspire you this week. Have fun with it, let your mind wander, then share with us what your fantastic imagination pulled together, we would love to see. When your sure it is just as it should be, pop on over to our blog and post it for all to see.

Here is what I came up with. I have been bitten by the peach bug….come summer in the south, peaches are beyond abundant. Chilton Co. peaches in Alabama are an easy go to in my neck of the woods. Then there are the sweet Georgia peaches. Can’t go wrong in July, in the south, with a sweet juicy peach! I’m salivating just sitting here thinking about them…..

This card was really quick and easy to create since my taste buds did the designing. They forced me to reach for the Sweet as a Peach stamp set, that also can be bundled with the coordinating die set, appropriately named…..Peach Dies. The Designer Series Paper Square is also part of the You’re A Peach Suite, a very summery collection of prints for sure. The peaches are stamped in Pale Papaya, while the leaves are stamped in Pear Pizzazz. The Basic White mat panel, and the DSP square are embossed with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. The Basic White square is cut with the Stitched Shapes square die – which is sadly discontinued. The tag is die cut with the smallest Tailor Made Tags dies, then stamped in Pale Papaya is the greeting “Sweet as a Peach”. I glued the leaves to the peach, then attached them with dimensional to the stitched square mat, then attached with glue the tag behind the peach.
