Happy Birthday, Dad!

Today my dear dad turns the big "70"! Can't even really believe it. He in no way looks or acts like he is entering the 70's. He golfs, plays pickle ball and walks on his treadmill. He lives in a beautiful home in Arizona. Minnesota is just too far away to visit as much as I would like to. :) So, here's to you, dad...Happy Birthday!! Love you! Annette

For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears . This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous. For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
