A Couple of Pairs of Pears- Pears Part Two

Hello Dreamers!
I will be sharing the rest of my pear cards with you today.  If you missed part one, check it out here.  I wanted to see how different I could make one stamp look by using different inks and coloring techniques.  I did a bit of heat embossing too.
Here is the whole group:

Card One:
Stamped on white CS with a bright green dye ink (Lettuce Adirondack). Layered on a green card base.  Add ribbon

Card Two:
Stamped on a light yellow CS with brown dye ink (Espresso Truffle Memento). Image colored with Copic Markers.  Layered onto green and yellow CS

Card Three:
Same green ink as card one, but then covered with Versa Mark ink. Clear embossing powder was sprinkled over the entire surface--also sprinkled iridescent embossing powder on the edges--- and heat set.  Layered onto two shades of green CS.

Really nice shinny surface!

Card Four:
Stamped on white cs with Butterscotch Adirondack ink. Covered the entire surface with Versa Mark ink. Clear embossing powder was sprinkled over the entire surface and heat set.  Layered onto two shades of yellow CS.

Card Five:
Stamped with dark brown ink on green CS.  Entire surface covered with
covered with Versa Mark ink. Iridescent embossing powder was sprinkled over the entire surface and heat set.  Layered onto bright green and dark teal CS.

The camera really did not capture how sparkly this card is.  The iridescent embossing powder really sparkles!

Pears, Pears, Pears: In Many Colors and Coloring Techniques

Hello Dreamers,
Hope you are having a great day!  Very busy here with the house hunting, etc...  I wanted to share a group of cards I made using a artistic pear stamp (Pear Mosaic from The Artful Stamper).  I used different stamping and coloring techniques to make a diverse group of cards that are perfect for any occasion.
I find it so fun to see how different I can make one stamped image look.

I will post all the cards in two posts.  Here are all the pieces...

Which were turned into all these cards:

Card #1: Stamped with a bright green ink on green CS.  Colored by rubbing metallic rubs onto some of the areas of the stamped image.  Layered with tobacco green and gold metallic CS.  Add pretty ribbon.

Card #2:Stamped with a medium brown ink on White CS.  Colored by painting with Twinkling H2O's.  Layered with Yellow and brown CS.  Add pretty ribbon.

Card #3:Stamped with med blue/green ink on White CS.  Coloring done by filling in areas with a Versa Mark Pen and then applying chalks over the Versa pen ink. Layered with pink and green CS.  Add  pretty ribbon.

Card #4: Stamped with bright green ink on White CS.  No other coloring needed. Layered on a green card base.  Add pretty ribbon.

*******Entering my Double pair of Pear Cards into:
Simon's  Wednesday Challenge: Tie it up
Inspiration Destination: anything goes
Clear It Out: theme - anything goes; stash - anything goes. Used some coloring items that have been neglected.

I will be back in a couple days with the other cards in this group.  Have a sweet day!!  Love ya.
