For today's TPT challenge we had to go apple picking and I brought along my tubby chef friend. He has such a deep operatic voice that all he has to do is sing and the apples just shake themselves off the tree and onto his plate. Now Annie doesn't have to climb up the tree to get her apples.
Fresh Apple Pie Anyone?
I sponged in the sky and grass. Embossed the tree in thick gold and added red Dew Drops for apples. The chef was embossed in black and water colored in. I used MS glitter on the platter and more Dew Drop apples and cut the leaves by hand. Finally, I topped it off with red Gingham Ribbon.
Thanks for Looking!!

Brilliant card! So glad you brought a chef; we need some food at this party! Way too many apple martinis have been consumed! Love your embossed tree with the dew drop apples and the chef is masterfully done!
