Apple Harvest Thanks
Ready for another Festive Friday challenge? What is the Festive Friday challenge? The Festive Friday challenge is a bi-weekly challenge that is inspired by a holiday/festivity. An Inspo list of 10 items is created using the festivity as its inspiration. To play in the challenge you need to use 3 items from the Inspo list on your project and enter it in the Festive Friday gallery. We love seeing what you choose from the Inspo list and look forward to seeing what you create.
I chose from the Inspo List- neutrals, recycled item from packaging, twine, and trees.
First item from Inspo List I used-Neutrals. The card base is Early Espresso CS cut at 4-1/4" x 11". The recycled element is from a Stampin' Up! box. Ahem, I may have a few around the craft room! I cut a piece of the box flap off (4" x 5-1/4") and tore off the top layer of paper. This leaves the corrugated paper below exposed. There are pieces of the top layer of paper still stuck onto the corrugated paper which adds to the rustic look.
Next item on the list-twine. What I used is really called Linen thread but let's just call it really skinny twine for now.
The stamp set I used is called Apple Harvest. This is the trees element from the Inspo List. This stamp set is also on the Last Chance list. It is a beautiful set and if you live in an apple growing area or love apples, this just might be a set that you need to purchase before it retires. I used Poppy Parade, Real Red, Petal Pink, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, and Pool Party Stampin' Blends to color the image. I added a few extra apples to the original image. The sentiment from the Apple Harvest set and punched with the Double Oval punch. This punch is also on the Last Chance list and available while supplies last and/or April 30. In the center of the flowers are Iridescent Pearls.
Inside I added another strip of Early Espresso CS and another apple flower. I almost always add a Basic White CS layer to the inside of my cards. The only time I don't is when the card base is white or vanilla.
Be sure to check out how the rest of the Festive Friday design team used the Inspo List.
