Craft Barn Twelve Month Challenge : September

Time for my entry for the Craft Barn Twelve Month Challenge. The September verse is;

Warm September brings the fruit
Sportsmen then begin to shoot

Fruit stamps seem to be in short supply at my house but I have some pears so I thought I would use those for the background with a little country scene as the focal image. I have a Dreamweaver stencil of a pear. A bit of masking, inking and stamping with distress ink and I got my focal image. I masked it out with masking tissue and then stamped the pears and leaves on the background using archival ink and coloured the pears with a distress marker.


Silhouette stamps used were by Hobbyart CS083D Farmhouse Scene-it.
The pears in the background - unknown.
Stencil - Dreamweaver 
Archival inks : Leaf green and potting soil
Distress inks : Shabby Shutters, Tumbled Glass, Milled Lavender, Dusty Concorde

Happy Weekend everybody x

  2. I really like this - the little scenescape looks just wonderful in its pear-shaped frame, and the variety in the background pear decorations is great fun. Lovely!

  3. What a brilliant idea to put your main image inside a pear and to use your pear stamps in the background. It reminds me that I have some pear stamps I haven't used in a while.
