For my second card I inked up the stamp in different colors. This was easy to do using the tear drop shaped ink pads - I used Memento. First I inked up the bottom edge of the pear with red. Next I inked up the entire part (yes even the part I inked in red) with Cantaloupe. Last I inked up the stem.
I added a little button topped with a gem as an embellishment. The sentiment is stamped on the pattern paper, and across the top is a simple border punch and ribbon.

Oh Jeanne ,I would never have been able to add all the details to a card ,like you did here and have it turn out as gorgeous as this one ! You have a gift,love this ! Your stamped card is gorgeous too!
Love the new die and stamp pear set. Your cards are wonderful and I especially like the paper used. Especially the music and vintage look paper.
Whoa. Look at this! What an elegant and super creative way to showcase the pear die and stamp. I love all the great detail on the first card...that envelope is amazing...the bow and stickpin, just beautiful Jeanne. I knew you would be able to dress up the pear die to make an elegant card! Love the second with the different colors on the pear...why didn't I think of something like that...so pretty!
I love the colors you used on the pear! So beautiful!
Wow...that pear is amazing and I love that you cut it out of gold. It gives your card an amazing rich look with the green and yellow...what a stunning thank you card!
Beautiful card!!Love the colors!
Amazing,the whole card is beautiful? There are so much in it but still - not too much!
WOW!! Both of your cards are simply gorgeous!!
Both of your cards are so detailed and beautiful.
Both stunning creations Jeanne, I love the embellished first card, so you! And your second is a great example of clever inking and stamping! Fabulous inspiration here!
Great cards. Love all the different elements you added.
Beautiful layouts - loved the scalloped music trim!
Both are gorgeous! I'm in awe of all those amazing elements you used on the first one! I could never do that. The pear in gold looks awesome!!
The pear die cut looks so pretty done in the gold foil!! Great projects!
Your cards are awesome. I particularly enjoyed the collage card--that was brilliant!
Love the collage style of your first card and the bright colors of your 2nd card!! Very unique!
I love the idea to ink the pear in different colors. Wonderful idea.
Love the idea of using different color ink on the pear. Beautiful cards.
Holy smokes these are beautiful. I love the details of the first one so much. Wonderful job.
The colors of your cards are fabulous. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Jaw dropping gorgeous!!
That die is ...
excuse the pun...
to die for...
it's gorgeous!!
Love it in the gold...
so elegant.
And then stamped with the gradient color...
you constantly amaze me with your creativity.
These cards are just so you!! I love the first one with the pretty layers, tags and sweet little pocket. I do like the pear die and stamp!
Jeanne...how wonderful are these...so totally busy, frou-frou, full of "stuff" ( well not stuff...treasures!). LOVE them both!!
Lovely embellished card with the gold pear and love how you shaded the pear stamp on the second card - great projects !
Wow!!! That pear is super gorgeous...love it! So many goodies on your lovely card! What creativity to use that pear in different ways...so pretty!!!
So very pretty!
your thank you card is probably my favorite one out of all the ones I've seen on the blog hop using the pear!
You know I think at first your style is modern shabby and then I think, edgy retro, but then you go and mix them and dangit if I can't think of how to categorize your style. Eclectic bliss I think I'll call it!
Awesome job on this beauty my friend. :)
