The Pear of Us

 I love the new Stamp Your Own Fruit set and I had to match the pear with a cheery background.  I found some marvelous papers I didn't even know I had.  This is one of my favorite cards - sort of charming, sort of fun, sort of wonderful curvy shapes.

Close-up of the sparkly background - The strawberries are perfectly bright and fun.  They're like little bright embellishments you'd add to a card.  

 Close-up of the pear - I dotted the darker marker on top of the blended pear and did a little blending.  I used R01 and some crazy greens to make a mottled pear that's just turning lighter.

I do like the way the pear turned out.  Loving the fruity.
