Hello!
Today's card is for the current challenge going on over at
Creative Inspirations Paint, the theme of which is
Inspired By: "Back to School."
Except I have no one in my world who is going back to school, so I made
a fall-themed card instead, and one clear indicator of fall is the
apple tree full of ripe apples.
The
days are still warm, the sun is still shining, there's still time to
play on the tire swing but summer is starting to wind down.
I embossed the edges of the red base layer with
Deliquesce White embossing powder and used a popped up die cut frame to frame the image.
I
painted the leafy part of the tree with
Green Olive and
Evergreen, and
the apples with
Garnet. Then I covered them with Glossy Accents.
Because shiny apples are the most appetizing.
I used chalks to color in the background.
Some ribbon and an apple-shaped brad finish things off.
A little stamping on the inside, and this card was finished.
Thanks so much for joining me, and don't forget to come play with us in our newest
challenge!
Happy crafting!
