I wanted to make a fairly quick card, so I pulled out my trusty Holiday Blitz and made an apple-themed birthday card:
Everything is pretty straightforward; the apples were stamped in each of the challenge colors; I wiped off the stem and leaf and used a marker to color them in; each one was punched with a 1" punch, then mounted on a 1 1/4" mat. They are mounted on a piece of Thoroughly Modern DP as well as a piece of Dusty Durango, and I added a little accent piece of Garden Green. The DD ribbon, pulled through a piece of Very Vanilla HPH broke up the empty space, as did the piercings I did with my paper piercer & mat. The sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped using a Stamp-a-ma-Jig to line it up.
Be sure to check the DCBD blog for all the other samples the divas have made, and be sure you play along too! Link your creation up right there with Mr Linky so we can them all!
