Here is my creation for today.



This card is a 5-1/2" square cut from a caramel color cardstock and stamped with the crackle background stamp from Background Fun using Ruby Red ink.

The sentiment is stamped onto vanilla cardstock with chocolate chip pigment ink and embossed with clear. That was cut/embossed using Spellbinders Deckled Mega Rectangles and sponged with Ruby Red ink and backed with a rounded corner rectangle of the blue dp. I popped this panel up with foam squares and onto the Big Scalloped Square, backed by another square with rounded corners. I stamped the apple border onto the solid dp after inking the stamp with versamark and Ruby Red ink and stamping end to end and clear embossing. That is backed with the Spellbinders Big Scalloped Petites cut from the coordinating stripe paper. The largest apple is stamped with versamark and Ruby Red ink and clear embossed before being cut out and popped up in the lower right corner. I added a double bow of light blue dotted ribbon to the sentiment panel. I hope you like my card.

Thanks for stopping by!
