Anyway I found in my stash a great background stamp from Hero Arts - Raindrop Background (S5101) that worked fine for what I was trying to achieve. I inked the pear stamp with Versa Color Bamboo (69) and the Raindrop Background with Brilliance Dew Drop Coffee Bean (BD-54). Then I 'kissed' the pear stamp on the Raindrop stamp and then immidiately stamped the pear on a piece of card stock. I then used clear embossing powder to enhance the colours.
There are all sorts of kissing techniques ~smile~ here is a great video tutorial from the Stamp Goddess.
Materials I used are
Papermania blank card and envelope 5" x 7" Kraft
Aspects Of Design (The Stampman) - Pears
Ranger Tim Holtz Distress inks - Vintage Photo
VersaColor Pigment Ink - Bamboo (VS-69)
Brilliance Dew Drop - Coffee Bean (BD-54)
Card Stock
Textured paper - deep red (no idea where I got this from )
Ranger Clear Embossing Powder
Graphics Fairy Digital Images - Letter
Recycled - Charm, Chain
- Digital Images from Graphics Fairy
- DewDrops, VersaColor, Ranger, Tim Holtz, Aspects Of Design from The Stampman

Lovely Caroline! On skype it never does it justice. I will have to watch the tutorial. I'm a pear fan! My favourite fruit.

Hi Caroline, I had the same thought about using the 'kissing' technique and experienced the same problem ! Your card is gorgeous ! Welcome to the DT too !
