I had a brand new Pure Innocence stamp set (Apple of My Eye) from MFT that I made work with the colors and came up with this birthday card...
Isn't she a cutie picking her Granny Smith apples?!! I stamped her in versafine black onyx ink and heat embossed with clear so I could use my Copics without any smearing. After die cutting her with the coordinating die I adhered her to a card base of Parakeet Party (SU!) that I added a die cut layer of Starry Sky (SU!) using a cover plate die from PTI called Lotty Dotty.
I did add a small rectangle of white card so my sweet little apple picking girl didn't get lost among all the navy and lime green dots. I did put foam tape behind her for a little separation too, and then added my birthday banner that I stamped on a die cut strip of Parakeet Party cs. I finished with a couple clear gems from Trinity Stamps.

ReplyDeleteJust loving her apple-picking outfit, Marcia! What a darling birthday card for their celebration!
ReplyDeleteGranny Smith's are still a favorite but we found a new-to-us apple at the orchard last weekend called Blondie! Any apple covered with caramel is my favorite - wink.
