Here's what I created:

This card is actually a collaboration with Pam Hornschu who is the fearless leader of our Dream Team. Pam worked "in house" for Stampendous for six years and knows all the ins and outs of all the wonderful things they sell. While I enjoy getting involved in the design process of a hop like this, I just don't have time to do it all...so she encouraged me to use a couple of finished pieces that she had stamped and colored with Copic markers and the two pears you see here titled "pear blossom" (459005) is one of the things she shared with me. (Thank you Pam for making my life easier.) I placed our pear stencil (LL563) on top of her colored pair of pears and traced it with a pencil, then cut it out. The turquoise pear (LL563) in the background was stenciled with teal pigment ink onto turquoise cardstock. The edges of the traced and cut piece were edged with pigment ink by sliding it on the edge of the pigment ink pad and sprinkled with teal embossing powder from the Encrusted Jewel Teal Kit (EJK06), then heated and mounted onto the turquoise stenciled pear card. The window was created by tracing the 6-paned window grid stencil (LJ812) with a pencil onto brown card stock...then cut the windows out with a craft knife and back the window with acetate.  The background was "Frantaged" with the  Encrusted Jewel Teal Kit (EJK06) and the window was placed on top and mounted.

Now, hop on over to the next in line. Don't forget to leave some love for a chance to win, and just 'cuz it's nice!
