Hey there! I just have to gush a little about my oldest grandson, Cohen. He's played on an excellent ball team this year, but last night was the first time Mark & I had a chance to see him play. He did well and his team won the tournament. I captured this picture of his last at bat of the season with my phone:

You usually hear about Liam & Darcy, but I have 8 grand-kids, and #9 is due in September!

Today I have a Fresh Fruit card created with the "orange peel" embossing technique! The peach is stamped with Peekaboo Peach, Tangerine Tango, and Pear Pizzazz!

Funny story about "pear pizzazz". The cover to the "z" key on my laptop is missing. Apparently Lando (age 18 months) opened it after I went to bed, banged it with my stapler and sent 7 or 8 keys flying.  His parents were able to find all but the "z", which isn't a big deal until you type all of the "z's" in "pear pizzazz"! Just another joy of being a grammie! (and yes, lesson learned; my laptop will go to my room with me from now on!)

To get the Orange Peel  look, I inked the peach with Peekaboo Peach, then added Tangerine Tango with a sponge dauber. I lightly misted with water before stamping on Watercolor Paper. I added water-misted Pear Pizzazz leaves, then misted it all with more water. I sprinkled Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder, then blasted with my Heat Tool. It takes a little longer, but you get this lovely bumpily texture!

Inside I stamped more peaches, using the Post-it Note masking technique to add depth.

This card is one of the three for the July Online Class. An order of $35 in my online store will get you 6 free cards! www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
