Day 1 of August Sneak Peaks

Its that time of the month again!  Today I'm showing a sneak peak of Cherries & Peaches stamp set along with the Basket Weave background stamp.  For a chance to win both of these stamp sets, head on over to the Flourishes Newsletter, they are having a one day only blog candy!!  Because I'm showing 3 cards today, I will try and keep my "talking" short.  All three cards have a more simpler design, and for the first two I used Copic Markers as my coloring medium.  
For this first card, I started out by stamping this cherry image onto Flourishes Classic White card stock, using Palette Noir ink  The cherries required so much blending, and to blend well the ink needs to be wet so each cherry was colored individually.  The colors I used were R20, R24, R27, R29 & R59 (Poppy Collection) for the cherries and then for the leaves YG91, YG93, YG95 & YG99 (Evergreen Collection).  After my image was colored in I cut it out and set it aside.  Next I cut and embossed a circle using my circle nestabilities and distressed the edges with a sponge and distress ink, then glued my cherry image onto the circle.  Since there is a lot of depth in the image, I didn't want too much stuff on my card, so I found a nice designer paper (then sponged the edges) a really pretty gingham ribbon and stamped my image, then this baby was done!
"sweet life"
I got a new toy this past week (the Fiskars Apron lace punch), so I really wanted to do something different, so I made this chic clean and simple card.  I stamped my image, colored it in with Copic markers and then cut it out.  I had punched out a green border, glued it down and also glued my colored peaches.  To finish my card, I stamped the sentiment and then tied a little bow with twine around the stem of the peach.
"true friends"
This is a really clean and simple card using the new Basket Weave background stamp.  The sentiment & images are from the Cherries and Peaches set.
