Quite the Pear

Hello Blog Friends!

Today's card was made without using markers.  Believe it or not, I don't always color when making cards.  :o)  This card has a few more embellies than I normally use, but I like the way it turned out.  Sometimes I am determined to think outside of my usual comfort zone.  This was one of those times.  

I believe the trim punch is a Martha punch.  I used scrapbook paper on the background, added three rhinestones, a yellow ribbon and green button.  When I saw this stamp, I thought it was the cutest thing for a "couples" card.  If I remember correctly, I bought it at Michael's, and.....I think it was in the dollar bin!  I haven't seen their dollar bin for a while, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough.  I need to check that out of of these days.  Loved the little pears and the sentiment. 






I want to thank you all who have written to ask about our son and his torn retina surgery.  He's doing well, although the gas bubble they put in his eye for the surgery, has not quite totally dissipated yet.  Once that's gone, he can get back to work.  He'll be one happy camper when that happens.  :o)   That's it for today.  Thanks a million for stopping by.  Until next time........

    1. Thanks MaryAnn. I'm pretty sure I got this inspiration out of a card magazine. It's fun to take bits and pieces out of photos and put something together. Need to do that once in a while. I'll be posting another "unrecognizable" card next. :o)
