Pear Pizazz

I am hooked to CAS at the moment and have another card for you to look at.  This time it's for the  Casology Challenge with the cue 'Fruit' to inspire us. I used a SU stamp from a set called Faith in Nature - this beautiful pear is set against text and I stamped it in Real Rock.
I coloured the pear by sponging and mounted it onto Pear Pizazz card stock. Quickly said, but I stamped and coloured the image at least four times before I was happy with the result! One of my other favourite things at the moment is this paper twine which I have used to create a tie and bow. Here is a close up of the pear, I think it looks ripe and juicy.Nothing else added, in the true spirit of CAS!

    It was worth all the do-overs! That beautiful 'glow' of the peachy colour on the side of the pear really gives it dimension! Thanks so much for playing along with CASology this week!

    Wow, that's gorgeous! And well worth all the effort! The pear on the text is inspired and really pops against all the white. I LOVE it!
