Sweet as a Peach cards

 


 I used the Sweet as a Peach set to create these cards along with the coordinating DSP.
I don't really get why you'd put fruit on a card, but this was quite pretty and it reminded me of Avon's Pretty Peach soap on a rope. I loved the smell of it. I'm giving away age now ha ha.

Many years ago S.U did a pair of edgelet dies with a coordinating embossing folders. I used these to cut and emboss the edge of the top layer.


I am not a fan of the Dist-ink-tive stamps because they leave a tiny dotty effective rather than a solid image, so I was in two minds about buying this set. The effect is rather like the old magic painting books.  To combat that effect I used a blender pen to smooth out those dots between the layers.


When I say layers, it's because I stamped the peach multiple times. First I stamped in peekaboo peach then stamped on top with pretty in pink twice and blended the colours together with the blender pen.  With a sponge dauber I added some cherry cobbler ink around the  very edges of the stamp only and stamped over the top again. I did this a couple of times more,  bringing the cherry cobbler ink in a little further each time and blending each layer of ink. Resulting  in a deeper more intense colour at the edges and no dots.


  I also used the blender pen on the leaves and flowers to eradicate those dots.
I kept the card below simple, I just used the blossom from the same set on the this card.
  Not a peach in sight.
