Food for Thought

Here's the Sweet Stop sketch#97 for this week. I'm combining this fun sketch with MFP Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge #44 which is to use food on our cards.
I used all SU! Concord Crush and Pear Pizazz inks and papers for this one. The image is a retired CTMH set and I'm sorry, there's no name on the stamps so I don't know what the set is called. I stamped the grapes with Concord Crush ink, and masked it to stamp the leaves which were inked with Pear Pizazz and enhanced with a darker Tombow marker. I added glossy accents over the entire image and IRL it looks pretty neat, but the picture just didn't capture those details. I used a retired SU! backgrounder called weathered, and stamped that in PP ink. The sentiment is by HA and the ribbon was in my stash. The gemstones are by Kaiser.
Happy weekend everyone, I hope you enjoy yours and do something fun!!!
