I was asked to join the Dueling Darlings in the Diva group....run by Kelly (MiamiKel4). So, this is my first posting month with the group!
Kelly sent a lovely variety of fall colored papers. It was difficult to focus on one card at first!! But, at my second look ....it all fell into place! The funny thing is....I only used one of the 6x6 sheets to make this card! It had a lovely border on the one side. I trimmed that down to use with the ribbon that was enclosed. I colored my apples and pear to match the paper. I tried matching the coloring of the corner punches (from some of the scraps when I cut out the fruit) with the basket color. I did the finishing touch with the brads. I glued the fruit all together into the basket. Then I used pop up dots on the basket of fruit.
I also decorated the inside of the card....another photo.
The second part of the challenge was to post my favorite fruit recipe.....it would be Apple Pie.
Kelly...thank you for inviting me to join this group. Thank you ladies for the warm welcome!!!
