Watercolored Apples

It's Sunday, and that means I get to case a Featured Stamper on SCS. Today it's Shannon (aka E3Stamper). Not only is she inspirational with her gallery of fabulous sketches, but she's just as inspirational with her comments. A real sweetheart for sure. Here's the card I cased: Real Soft Love I loved her sketch, so I stuck faithfully to it. The changes I made are as follows:
1. Colors
2. Images
3. Added sewing and distressing

That's it...I told ya...I loved her sketch!!

Now, for my card, I stamped the Apples image (Artful Stamper) with Black Onyx Versafine and embossed it with Detail Black Embossing Powder (Judikins). I then colored the image with Adirondack reinkers that will be listed in the supplies at the bottom of this post. The sentiment is also embossed, and each panel is ink distressed with Frayed Burlap and Walnut Ranger Distress inks. I sewed around the Cosmo Cricket dp to help give it a country feel, and added the ribbon and brads that Shannon's sketch called for.

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope ya'll have a fantastic and blessed week!!
