It's gone pear-shaped

 


What's a pear got to do with Christmas? Probably nothing, but I do have a pear-shaped tree ornament. 

I always enjoy a challenging challenge and, at CAS Christmas the challenge is the 12 Days of Christmas, so this pear is from the partridge's tree.  I stamped it in Delicata gold ink and then inked up a script stamp and stamped it onto the pear before stamping the pear again (I think it's called kissing). Both the pear and script stamp are very old UMs, brand unknown. 

Then I stamped and gold embossed a Hero Arts sentiment and added everything to a mirror gold panel, embossed using a folder. 

As I used a script stamp (words) I'd also like to enter Try it on Tuesday.

It's a perfect pear in a partridge tree! I love the kissing technique, one you don't see much anymore but it's fabulous -- if I could only remember to try this... Love the card, Marina
