I'm jumping up and down for you, Karen - so pleased that you are being honored as QFTD - you're such an encouragement to others, I hope you're having a ball enjoying all the cards being made in your honor!
I LOVED this CAS card Karen (Redbugdriver) did with an embossed circle and apples - I started out with the intention of keeping it just as CAS, but...well, as often happens....I got carried away! IC265 ~ Sold Out! by Redbugdriver at Splitcoaststampers
I embossed a circle cut with Nesties with the square lattice folder and colored with copics an Papertrey Ink image which is popped up on it. The card base is an oatmeal colored piece of card I've had for ages. I added two little gold brads to the basket. Then arranged a cling sentiment so that it would stamp around the circle. To finish off I added ribbon and lace.

Bridget, I love what you've done. Just so sweet. Your apples look yummy enough to eat. Good job with the circled sentiment. I'm so glad to hear you say you got carried away in the making of the card....I did, too. LOL

WOWZERS, Bridget, this one FLEW into my favorites at the moment my chin fell - THUD - onto the floor!! This is absolutely gorgeous coloring, and having the embossed panel behind the circle is like turning a spotlight onto the basket of apples!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way you did your bow with the lace layer. KUDOS, my friend - Karen will be thrilled with what you did to your "C&S" idea!! LOL

Oh do I ever love those peaches, Bridget. And the basket... what a great basket in the midst of all that premium white space. Perfectly fabulous work, Bridget.
