I honestly didn’t think I would have time for this challenge, and I just realized I missed the last one somehow. That made me more determined to try to get this one done.
Its the dreaded speed challenge time at As You See It, and this one is all about apples. This took me 8 mins and 30 seconds to make. When sorting through some scraps yesterday I tried die cutting a few things to see how they would look so my background pieces were sitting on my desk. As well the heat embossed and fussy cut tree was a leftover from a project I did a long time ago and never used.
My local craft store order arrived mid week and these little Hero Arts clay apples were a gift inside. It’s almost as if the universe was expecting me to create this card. The little tree is from an old stamp set by Kitchen Sink or Inspired by Stamping but I’ve temporarily misplaced the set and can’t check.
Putting it together was a breeze. All I had to do was ensure the tree and the apples were properly adhered and because the top panel is actually a photographic canvas I had to double ensure it would stick and stay. That is what took the time. I added some sparkle to ground the tree at the bottom. I haven’t decided on a sentiment for this yet so am not adding anything for now. I do, however, like how it turned out, which is always a bonus.
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you and your time.
This is being entered into Challenge #361 – An Accelerated Apple a Day
