As yesterday, I'm not an official part of the Blog Hop today, but I did make a couple of cards using today's set, Pretty Pears. My first one uses the smaller of the two pears and is rather monochromatic. I stamped a couple of the flower images to create my background "designer paper."
My second card doesn't use one of the pear images at all but a Spellbinders pear die. I cut the shape three times, twice from a piece of cardboard and the third time from some designer paper. The photo corners are punched from the same designer paper so that the colors would match. The lovely sentiment comes from today's set.
Thanks for stopping by even though I wasn't part of the official blog hop. But be sure to check out the participating blogs for more creativity using today's pretty set.
Here's the Design Team for today:
