I went a little cartridge crazy in June. I got 6 new carts! I know, I know. But I got some good deals on them since most of them came from eBay. One of them was Preserves, which served as the inspiration for this card.I noticed how they had so many differnt cuts of pears on there and decided to use them to my advantage. I like to put a "play on words" in my cards and these pears played right into my game. Here are the details.
Carts
- Sweethearts - 'The Perfect..."
- Preserves - everything else.
I used a really pretty cream for the background and accents on the pears. I inked the edges of the card with my Wild Wasabi ink pad from SU! (this was a seasonal color a couple of years ago and I am so glad I got it). I love the way the pears came out!
When I cut out the sentiment, it had the word "Pair" on it. I cut that off and replaced it with the word "Pear' from the preserves cart.
****There is something hidden on this card or rather not that overt. The first person to guess what it is and leave a comment on my blog will receive some blog candy from me! Good Luck!!!
Smooches,
Robin
I LOVE it! That is one of my favorite cards and I am in love with Wild Wasabi! :) I couldn't find what was hidden, I even studied it! LOL!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh.....let me guess....is it a hidden cricut circle logo? Where the 2nd "e" should be in perfect?
ReplyDeleteNope! That's not it!
ReplyDeleteIs there something on that T from "the"
ReplyDeleteI love your card and was just thinking today that I HAD to have this cart and haven't used it yet... what am I thinking?? It's a great cart and I love how you 'peared' it with the Sweethearts cut. The only thing I can think of is that one pear is male and one is female... I'm a bit slow tonight!
ReplyDeleteWonderful car, is it the leaf missing from one of the pears?
ReplyDeleteDing, Ding, Ding, Ding!!!! We have a WINNER!!! Congratulations to Brandy! She was the first person with the correct answer! In my post I stated that I like to use "plays on words" in my cards. So the "pear" really means "pairs". Who would you make a card like this for? A pair of newly weds or an engaged couple. So the "pears" are a male (seeds are buttons on his shirt) and female (the flower on her and the leaf is ponytail/hair). Thanks for playing along and keep visiting me!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I am so thrilled that was it... I actually found myself picturing the card while waiting at swimming lessons this morning. I was wondering if there was something I missed.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely keep visiting you - I love your cards!!
Robin- You know I love your work! I have left you some blog love over at mine- Stop by and pick up your award when you have a chance!
