An Apple a Day - Stampin' Up! Cheerful Basket

   I introduced the Cheerful Basket bundle to my stampers this week and we made this get well card.  I wanted to use all of the new In Colors in our projects this month so I paired up Sweet Sorbet and Parakeet Party for this cute apple themed card.

  Using the dies from Full Basket die set we put together this sweet card.  We started with a Crumb Cake base and then layered a Basic White Stylish Shape square over a piece of Sweet Sorbet.  We cut the basket pieces and wove the horizontal pieces through the basket base and then sponged some Crumb Cake ink to pull out the wood grain texture.  Next we added a Parakeet Party kerchief in the 6x6 In Color DSP.

  The apples are stamped in Memento Black and colored in with Stampin' Blends.  After coloring they are die cut and placed "in" the basket.

  We cut some leaves out of Parakeet Party to sprinkle around the basket and added the sentiment embellished with an In Color Matte Decorative dot.  The edges of the apples are highlighted with a bit of clear Wink of Stella.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
