An Apple a Day...

Hello Again!

School is now in full swing here in the U.S.A. So, I thought I would celebrate it by well.... making a card. I already need to make an apology card for my son's teacher and I thought this card would be perfect. I will also be playing along with AAA Cards, Cards in Envy and Addicted to CAS. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

This layout took just a bit of planning.
I die cut the little apple shape first then the larger apple giving me the negative space I needed to stamp the apples on the inside panel. I lightly traced the die cut outline and started stamping the apples by opening up the card and finding the marks I left from tracing the die cut outlines.
I stamped the little apple first, masked that off and stamped the large apple.

This one layer card as a surprising amount of dimension.
One example is the embossed stitch marks at the edge of the card.
Just enough detail for interest and keeping your eye inside the card space.

The apples were colored using watercolor pencils, paintbrush, and a bit of water.
I kept the apple middle very basic and neutral. I did not want to convey a brown apple center.
