I'm also joining in with the lovelies at TOC, with their friendship/encouragement/support challenge. My card, while a bit punny, is letting the recipient know they are appreciated.
Before getting to my card, I want to take a moment to congratulate Christy Stanford for being our newest member of the Paper Players Design Team! Christy was a year-long guest designer a few years ago and has been joining us each week on a regular basis with her delightful and charming cards. Welcome to the team, Christy!
For our latest PP challenge, and since we're heading into fall, I chose to use a little cutie eating her caramel apple. I remember loving them when I was young.
To start, I stamped the girl and the apples, then masked them off so I could create the scene using stencils for the sky and ground. Once that was complete, the masks were removed and I colored her in fall colors using Copic markers.
I decided to cut out and pop up the center of the panel using an arch die, then stamped the sentiment. I added the outside to a white card base then popped up the center portion. I finished off the apple with some Glossy Accents to make it shiny and when that was dry, also used a white gel pen to create highlights.
What are you inspired to create using this theme? For more ideas, please head over to the challenge blog where my talented teammates have loads of great design to inspire you. The challenge remains open until 3pm EDT, Friday September 12th. I hope you'll join us this week!
Thanks for stopping by!
