Perfectly Pears - Pecan Pie

Perfectly Pears

 This weeks Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop challenge featured Pecan Pie.  I immediately knew I wanted to do a vintage looking, card style.   I love how this turned out looking like a type of Sepia tone.  You can find my original post HERE.  Be sure to check out the list for everyone's projects and extra inspiration.

The details were just so easy to pull together!  Warning, I did get inky, but I love to get my hands deep into a project.   I used a blending brush to apply Pecan Pie to Very Vanilla cardstock, which creates that warm halo.  The Pear stamps were just perfect!

Cutting instructions:

• Card base - Pecan Pie: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2".  This is a side fold card.
• Matte layer - Very Vanilla: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
• Postage stamp layer - Pecan Pie: 4" x 5 1/4", die cut using largest die.
• Card front - Very Vanilla: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"
• Sentiment label: 5/8" x 1 5/8"
• Inner message liner - Very Vanilla: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", die cut using 2nd largest die.

Assembly instructions:

• Using Pecan Pie ink and blending brush, apply ink to perimeter of front matte layer and front postage stamp layer.  Adhere postage stamp layer to matte layer.
• Using Pecan Pie ink and blending brush, apply ink to card front layer with lightest in the center and darkest around the edges.  
• Using Pecan Pie ink, stamp Pears, stems and leaves.  I used a post it note to create a mask for the pear on the right so that when I stamped the pear on the left there is no visible overlap.
• Using Pecan Pie ink, stamp off once when using the grunge stamp around the perimeter of the card front.  Adhere card front to postage stamp layer.
• Adhere matted card front to front of card base using dimensionals.
• Using Pecan Pie ink and a blending brush, apply ink to sentiment label.  Using Early Espresso ink, stamp sentiment.  Add grunge in Pecan Pie if desired (stamp off first).  Adhere to card front using dimensionals.
• Using Pecan Pie ink and blending brush, apply ink to perimeter of inner message liner.  Stamp grunge if desired (stamp off first).  Adhere message liner to inner card base.
