Farmhouse Fresh Peaches and Cream


Hi y'all!

Last week we saw a roadside stand with fresh peaches-for-sale, so Summer is officially not far off!  I have fond memories of fresh peaches and homemade vanilla ice cream with my cousins Karen and Sherrie, and their parents Uncle Roscoe and Aunt Marie (my dad's sister)!  I must've been around 10 and it was close to my birthday. We ate enough peaches and ice cream to just about make ourselves sick!  

Do you remember those old hand-crank ice cream makers?  I was small and usually got nominated to be the one to sit on a pile of towels on top of the thing to keep it stabilized while the guys took turns cranking until the ice cream was ready.  🤣  


Isn't it funny the things that can inspire a card!?!  So I pulled out several Stamp Simply sets and a couple of paper pads and Copic markers and this was the result.  The colors of this background paper work really well with the designer prints from the other paper pad, and they make that peach really pop in the foreground.  On top of that, they seem pretty perfect for the nearly red hot temperatures we have been having lately!  


I use our Fishtail Banners dies all the time!  It's definitely a favorite! Here I added a few green pearls on that designer print for some contrast and counter-balance against the peach's one little green leaf!  


I used another sheet of the same brightly colored paper inside along with a sentiment and the little milk barrel from our Farmhouse series.  [With these stamp sets there's a straight line sentiment (Fruit) and this one (Farmhouse) where the words are stacked, so you can take your pick between the two!  I liked the way it looked with the milk can nestled in alongside so I used the Farmhouse one].
