I created this card from an older Waffle Flower stamp set called We Blend. I stamped, colored and die cut the images.
I had a hard time picking out the right background paper because of the different color fruit and vegetables. I ended up going with a beige base color and then added the borders from an Altenew paper pack called A Love For Stripes Set D.
