I went with the Harvest "theme" for today's challenge and inked up these Apples. My first instinct was to make them Red Apples, but then I decided to go the other way.... that green ribbon has been sitting on my desk and I was determined to use rather than put it up! I also took inspiration again from the Belli Challenge #71 to use Wood on your creation. Since a wooden crate was in the image, I thought it was a good tie in. I am loving these new wood sheets from SU. I inked edges of the wood pieces with Taupe using a sponge to make them a little darker. Once I had the wood piece adhered to the cardstock, I used my Crop-a-Dial to punch the holes and set the eyelets, clean and neat right through the wood sheets. I colored the image with Copics and added a little shading under the image and some soft airbushing. I fussed up the edge with a Martha Stewart Border punch and threw some buttons with Jute string on as a finishing touch. Finished card is 5" Square.
