Fall Harvest

Fall is such a lovely time of the year and Sparkle N Sprinkles’ new Fall Harvest Set is all about Fall.  When I saw the Basket of Apples image, I was instantly reminded of a recent field trip with my kindergarten class to a local apple orchard called Sky Top.  We had a beautiful day and enjoyed learning about apples, taking a hayride around the orchard, and picking our favorite apples.  This memory is the inspiration for this card.

 

I used an embossing folder on the top layer of this card and sponged the embossing with fall colors of ink.  I added Autumn Medley Glitter to the leaves and Gypsy Red Velvet Glitter to the bush on the left before distressing the edges of all the layers and adding them to a sienna card front.

 

I stamped the Basket of Apples with Rich Cocoa Memento ink on cream cardstock and colored it with alcohol markers.  I colored them red because my favorite apples are red delicious.  I cut it out, added a touch of Gypsy Red Velvet Glitter to the apples, and popped it up on the embossed card front.  

The sentiment is from the Fall Harvest sentiment set and heat embossed with Winter Berry EP and cut out with a Spellbinder die.
