Cathy asked us to use apples or any fruit on our cards today. Using an image from Linda Lover....traced it with a lightbox onto the paper. Used acrylic paint for the leaves, and reinkers for the rest of the image. I just had two wonderful days with GailMN from Iowa who came to visit. We spent some time at Door County Stamps, and the inspiration was fantastic. Using some embossing paste purchased yesterday on the whip cream with added glitter. Using a dip pen, wrote the sentiment.

There's your beautiful calligraphy, again! And now you are painting your images as well. You probably have been for a while. This is really a nice painting. You are making me jealous going to Door County! I love that area. Next time I'm up I'll have to check out Door County Stamps!
