The first card Kim demonstrated is a bright, cheery thank you card featuring the peach image, Emerald Envy, and Peekaboo Peach.
This card uses two techniques - stamping on watercolor paper and masking. These stamps are already shaded for a watercolor look, so using watercolor paper adds even more texture. The fruit looks almost good even to eat!
First cut all of your paper. You will need Emerald Envy, Fruit Stand DSP, Whisper White, and Watercolor Paper.

The thank you sentiment area is masked first with a strip of sticky note 3/4" by 4". Cut your sticky note to at least 4" so some overhangs each edge. This helps secure your watercolor paper to your work surface.
Stamp the peach image with Peekaboo Peach across the watercolor paper. Stamp the leaf image with Emerald Envy ink above each peach. Once the ink is dry remove the sticky note mask and stamp thank you with Basic Black Archival ink.
Adhere the watercolor color paper to the card base, leaving approximately an 1/8" on the right side. Adhere the DSP strip to the left edge. The DSP strip will be longer than your card base. Allow the glue to dry. Then trim the excess. Cutting the strip longer ensures full coverage and a clean edge.
On the inside of the card, I stamped the peach image in the lower right corner, leaving the rest blank for a personalized message. None of the On Stage samples showed the insides of the cards, so all of the insides are my own design.
I hope you give this luscious peach thank you card a try. I would love to see what you make!
Stay tuned for more Fresh Fruit cards next time.
