Today, I’m sharing some Perfectly Pretty Cards I made a few weeks ago with the Painterly Pears Suite. This product suite, especially its Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper, has taken many, many people by surprise. Many found it unappealing until the saw me and other creators using it in their cards and paper projects.
If you are someone who has not jumped on the pear bandwagon or just don’t love the Painterly Pears Suite, perhaps, this video demonstration will change your mind! If nothing else, I think you’ll enjoy seeing a quick and easy card layout you can use with any of your favorite Designer Series Papers plus a simple layout with layers of white for creating a classy, elegant look! AND, you’ll learn how to add a second ink color to a stamp using a Sponge Dauber. The Sponge Dauber Stamping Technique is something every stamper will be glad to know!
