Hello friends!
I am not an accomplished person, but one of the things that I am most proud of is that I do know a thing or two about baking pies! You see, having grown up in Taiwan and living there till my early 20s, I had never had pies prior to my coming to Canada. Pies were a novelty to me. But it's never too late to learn a few things once you are in a new country, right? I never knew that pie-making would become such a joyful and satisfying thing to do (much like stamping). Nothing is more special than sharing a piece of homemade pie with friends and family. Over the years, I've loved making fruit pies (apple, peach and pumpkin), Chocolate Pudding Pies, Pecan Pies and Chocolate Pecan Pies. In recent years, my son David got me hooked on making Lemon Meringue Pie. David's Lemon Meringue Pie has quite a reputation and often wins rave reviews (see below, that's his pie!!)!
Well, enough of my pie talk. Here is a card with tons of PIES!
I used the pie image from the November Card Kit "Handmade with Love" and created a watercolored pie background.
I started out with the bottom center piece of pie (in orange color) and masked my way up and stamped the entire background with pies! I also stamped and cut out a piece of pie and popped it up for the focal image. The strip of paper also came in the kit.

The coloring was easy to do. I used Spectrum Aqua Markers and used a tiny bit of water to color the images. It was fun and therapeutic...and no calories! I added the "whipped cream" with Liquid Pearl and add some shine to the pie.
It's rare that I display a card along with pies (homemade Pumpkin Pie is in the background), but for this particular card, I couldn't help it as they are so fitting, right?
Dr. John's Fjord post will return next Saturday. Thanks for stopping by!
