Whiff of joy and Simon says stamp

I have combined the Whiff of joy theme which is to use piercing on your card and the Simon Says stamp challenge which is to use Summer fruits. I used my gorgeous whiff of joy orange tree. I used some alcohol inks to create a background and then stamped an image on after. I then used green pen to colour the leaves and a clear sakura pen on the rest of the image to create an embossed feel. I used a basic grey swirl around the image.
I pierced around the edges of the image and layered it onto some card and added some backing paper by K&co and some ribbon flowers and stickles.
