  7. The fruit on both cards looks so juicy and real. The addition of the Glossy accents and the shine it gave is foxy. I also love that you use various companies to put these cards together and make them look splendid.

  8. Donna, I love these fruity little masterpieces! Your stenciling is so perfect, especially evident on the first card with the layers of color. I do love fruit dies, too. Pretty as flowers! Your juicy strawberries look good enough to eat. Very special! And, ohhh, those lemons! I fell in love with this set a while back and finally got it, but have yet to use it. You inspire me all the more. Beautifully done, Donna!

  10. Super cute cards, I love the stenciling. And your fruits are just luscious, I am almost drooling. I have forgotten about using stenciling for a background, it's always a winner. Thanks for the inspiration.
