A Basket Full of Fun Apples

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 560, Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 550 - Soft Marina Daffodils, Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 553 - Doodled Dry Embossing, and Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 344 - How about them apples?. Now how could I resist combining all of these together. I wanted a larger apple and do not have the Spellbinders Apple dies YET so I hand drew and cut out an apple from daffodil delight cs. My embossing folder is the Paper Studio Intricate Swirl doodled with white jel pen. I added some yellow ribbon on the left panel of soft sky.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment and apples in daffodil delight and the basket in marina mist. On the envelope I stamped the sentiment in marina mist. Hope you like it.

UR The Apple of my Eye

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 550 - Soft Marina Daffodils, Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 553 - Doodled Dry Embossing, Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 344 - How about them apples?, and Monday's MOJO MONDAY SKETCH CHALLENGE # 417.
I embossed marina mist layer with the diamonds and dots embossing folder and traced on top of the raised areas with my white jel pen and matted that on soft sky. Cut the apple on front out with spellbinders fancy fruit apple die at attached to small white panel.

I used my marina mist marker to free hand the "U R" on the front and "the of my" as well as the drawing of the eye on the inside then stamped the apple from tart & tangy in daffodil delight. Hum I should have stamped the apple then did the free hand sentiment but I was too far gone when I go to that place to start over. I also stamped the apple on the front of the envelope. Hope you like it.

Tart & Tangy Lotus Blossom Thank You

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 553 - Doodled dry embossing and today's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 344 - How About them Apples. This vision came to mind as soon as I saw the 2 challenges after trying twice to get some sleep. gggrrr. So I decided to make it so maybe it would be out of my head and sleep might follow. I used a small embossing folder of THANK YOU and embossed on real red cs then traced around with my white jel pen. I inked the image up using real red and garden green markers then huffed and stamped on white cs, cut with a curcle punch, doodled around the edge and popped it up on dimensionals.

On the inside of the card and the envelope I stamped the sentiment from Lotus Blossoms in real red. I will give this to one of our younger grands to give to a teacher.

Kitty in the Window say's Happy Mother's Day

Well it took me almost all day to complete this but a dentist appointment and dinner date with my darling hubby couldn't wait. I used some new dies to me from Cottage Cuts and Dies R Us. I had a yellow stripped cat and I tried to simulate that on this cat cut in white cs and colored with copics. Not even close but I hope you get the idea. I punched out some pink flowers for the cat to be playing with and used my grass border punch to plant the flowers in. Hope you like this
