It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge!  This week is a fun sketch!

FRUIT SALAD DESIGNER PAPER

A quick card done with the Sale-A-Bration level 1 selection, Fruit Salad 6×6 Designer Paper!  SOOOO fun with all these fruit images!  I really wish they would have offered a stamp set to coordinate with them!  But…it is easy enough to cut some of the images out by hand.

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pecan Pie cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Fruit Salad DSP was added to the background.
• The Stylish Shapes circle was cut from Crushed Curry cardstock and adhered to the front.
• The 1-1/2 x 3-1/2 piece of Basic Whtie cardstock was embossed with the Sale-A-Bration Level 1 Starstruck Embossing Folder and adhered over the circle.
• The pineapple was hand-cut from the Fruit Salad DSP and added to front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The Simply Said stamp set greeting was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Crushed Curry cardstock and cut with the Stylish Shapes Die.  It was added over the pineapple with Stampin’ Dimensionals on each end.
• A trio of Antique Pearls were added to the background.
