Was so happy I took the time
Now I love this set
This set is

but man oh man wish I had more of it...
I used SU Pear Pizza for the first layer
SU Old Olive for the second
next Tim Holtz Vintage Photo
I heat set the ink
Next I stamped the berries
in Tim Holtz Fired brick
and add clear gloss embossing powder
a button and a bow made a second card
