I thought I had a Flourishes fruit or veggie stamp but couldn't find one. I am using one for the sentiment that is in their Humming Along set. The fruit is Rubber Stampede if I am not mistaken. I searched for it online and never found it. I have no name as I think it is from ebay. If anyone knows and will let me know, I'll post it. I am just guessing it is peaches..sure what it looked like to me so I got out my Copics and went with peach colors.
My sketch was from the QFTD challenge #68 on Splitcoaststampers. The Queen this week is Roxie aka Rox71. This is the card I cased. I tried to stay true to her sketch but did not stamp my black and white border. My sis had given me this pretty Recollections chipboard border and I thought it would be perfect. My border punch is by EK Success and is called English Ivy. Matted and popped up my image.
Hope I'm not taking liberties by entering this into Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge #63. It is to use a die cut as a background mat OR make your own. I cut my own mat because my image was large and I didn't have time to do an out of the box. Plus, I used a punch which I hope counts. If not, throw 'er out. LOL
For Your Inspiration challenge #9 gave us this beautiful photo to draw inspiration from. Wow! It is beautiful and I love the oranges and so many colors in the stained glass. I am using the black and green from the stained glass and all the beautiful oranges, plus the white from the sky.

You've wrapped up so many neat challenges into one bee-autiful fruity card, Benz! I could've sworn those peaches *were* Flourishes....could have fooled me. ;) I love the way you matted the focal point, and tied in the colors with punching and stamping.

Brenda this is beautiful. I just had fresh peaches tonight. Love you coloring. The peaches are almost ready in the mountains this year. This card reminds me how much I love them.
This is absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous work.
This is just so super spectacular. Love those juicy peaches and your color combination. Thank you so much for playing along in Speedy's Friends Challenge. It's a pleasure to see your work. Hope you can join us next week!
What beautiful peaches! They look delicious! I love all the background details too. It makes me think of ripe peaches in a decorative bowl sitting on the kitchen table.
It is just plain beautiful! I love the colors, the way you did your die cuts and edges too! Lovely!
At first I thought these were Flourishes' peaches. At any rate, it's a beautiful stamp and they look delicious with your wonderful coloring. Love that chipboard scallop with the black design. Really adds a crisp contrast and sets off the image nicely. The whole card in these colors is just fabulous!
This card is gorgeous!!!
