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/

  5. 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!
