For my sneak peek today, I chose one of Alesa Baker's beautiful new images for Christmas. Because it is a non-traditional image, I chose a non-traditional color scheme!
I paired my pear up with a mix of decorative paper (Basic Grey Porcelain and Lasting Impressions) and solid paper (Bazzil and SU). Both the pear and the sentiment are new offerings that will be unveiled in just a few weeks at CHA!
I stamped my pear on Classic White paper and colored it up with Copic markers (YG00, YG03, YG06 with a touch of E29). The flowers were colored with watercolor pencils and then the centers were dotted with some Liquid Pearls in a pale pink. Add a decorative edge punch (SU) and some beautiful May Arts ribbon and ... done!
Here's a close up of my pear... I really love how this turned out!
Make sure to hop on over to Daniela's place and also the IO blog for some more sneaks to the new IO collection! While you are on the IO blog, check out some of the peeks showing the new Mega Mount acrylic block AND the cover-a-card backgrounds!
See you back here soon!

Oh yes, your pear is lovely! Looks good enough to eat! Such pretty flowers too! Great card!
Groovy color scheme and of course I love everything about it. See you in a few days Yahoo!!! Mom
How weird. I saw the pear and instantly thought of fall and Thanksgiving. Using it as a Christmas stamp completely opened my eyes! Great coloring and design!
How lovely,pearfect card!!! Love the flowers,adds the pearfect touch!
Lovely card, Julie. Your Copic coloring is wonderful, really gave the pear a lot of roundness. Great job.
Pretty card and because it is non-traditional, you don't have to listen to me grumble about a holiday card now. I went and checked out the new background stamp and mounting block ~ WOW! The tapestry pattern is beautiful and that block looks really cool. I can always find stuff at IO that I "need", bad influence.
Wow! I love the colors, design and those itty bitty pearls too!
This is beyond adorable! Pearfect!
