I made this little gift set for my friend who was busy with midterms or finals or something equally awful at the time. I wanted to brighten her day a little.
To make the card, I hand-drew an apple and caramel shape and cut them out of decorative paper. Then I stitched all around the edges with my sewing machine. I glued a popsicle stick to the card base that I made to fit the apple panel and then glued the apple and caramel piece to the front and a hand-drawn leaf shape sticking out from the stick. I added a sentiment tag and some ribbon and a button, popped on my adorable image, and called it done!
I LOVE these Pure Innocence cuties! I just want to squeeze them! ;) I colored this girl with Copic Markers and added highlights with a white gel pen. Then I used Glossy Accents on the apple, her hairclip and her shoes.
To match the card, I altered a little crate that I got at Whole Foods. They were selling the cutest cherry tomatoes in these this summer, and can you believe that people were taking the cherries and leaving the crates?!! Are they nuts?! So I snatched all the leftover crates for myself! LOL
I colored my image and popped her on a couple of Nestabilities cut-outs. I adhered her to the crate and embellished the crate with some red twill ribbon and buttons. Then I popped in a caramel apple and tied on a pretty ribbon and button bow.
