CASology Week 3 - Fruit



I've been making fruit cards all evening using my favorite sets...peaches, blueberries, melons, and strawberries all over the work table! 
Now I can't decide between these two.  The grapes card was the first one I made, and is my personal favorite.  I like the softness and distressing on the small piece. It has a vintage feel without a lot of layers or embellishments.
The cherries card is crisp and clean...but I feel unsure about it. Clean & simple is tough to get right because there's so little there.

I'm really enjoying the CASology theme challenges, and was sorry I didn't get to play last week. Check out this blog if you want to be inspired to try clean & simple. http://casology.blogspot.ca/

* all products used are Close To My Heart, Bon Appetite and Bowl of Cherries, retired sets

    Both great fruity cards! Love the softness of the first and the boldness of the second (I'm like that, lol!) Thanks so much for playing along with CASology this week!

    The images you used here are lovely, Dena! I love the trellis pattern behind the grapes and the graphic look of the cherry stamp. Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!

    I think they're both super. The graphic of the cherry stamp really works for me, but the grapes are so soft and romantic. Lovely cards!
