Painterly Pears Thank You Card with a Subtle Pop of Texture

I’ve got another sweet pear-themed project for you today, and this one is giving soft, classy gratitude with a little artistic flair. This “thank you” card uses the Perfectly Pears bundle paired with the coordinating Painterly Pears DSP—and I just love how the background and focal elements blend together while still letting those juicy pears shine!

The card base is Secret Sea cardstock, giving us a dark and moody background to anchor all the soft and floral touches. I layered a panel of Basic White and Petal Pink for contrast, and stamped the flowers from Perfectly Pears lightly in Petal Pink for a faded background effect.

The pears were stamped in greens and die-cut with the coordinating dies, then layered over a die-cut mesh element that adds texture without stealing the spotlight. A strip of Painterly Pears DSP runs across the card front, tying in those soft yellows, greens, and peaches perfectly.

I stamped the “Thank you” sentiment in Secret Sea ink for a classic finish and added a few pearls around the card for just a touch of elegance. This one is simple, sweet, and full of handmade heart.

Stamp off your ink once on scrap paper before adding soft background images like the Petal Pink flowers. This gives a faded look that adds dimension without being too bold behind your focal elements!

The full supply list for this card can be found further down on this blog post. You can also see the video link and the class information below!
