I think Fall has to be one of my favorite seasons. I love the turning and smell of the leaves and the crisp, clean, cool air, and there's nothing like a juicy and flavorful apple.
This Monday, a group of us challenged one another to make an *apple* card, so, naturally, I thought of Fall and went with Fall colors for my card. I only have this one apple stamp. The larger apple on the sentiment, I drew on ruby red cs and cut out. I used the wcc and white gel pen to shade that apple.
Linen bg and the leaf from Serene Sunflowers were stamped on both the More Mustard and Ruby Red bgs. I sponged the white panels in More Mustard and Ruby Red. I used various shades of wcc with a blender pen to color the apples and leaves.
This card is also for Beate's weekend sketch challenge. TFL!
