Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge Reminder: Orchard

Just a reminder that there is still time to play along with the challenge at the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Orchard.


I was so excited about moving into a fall theme, that I just had to make another card.  I took inspiration from the variety of apple colors and the tangle of greenery.

CC Thanks a Bunch of Apples

I love these teeny apples. It's part of the Taylored Expressions Little Bits - Fruit set.  It also has tiny grapes and cherries and pears and more.  Then I added a coordinating sentiment from the Berry Special set.

I generally avoid watercoloring or sponging or most anything to do with Distress Inks - my personality does not do well with the lack of control.  But sometimes it all comes together such that I have to venture into this creative realm.  These apples were quite easy.  I just distressed rainbows of apple color onto a piece of cardstock, then cut the apples out of the portions that I liked the best! 



I hope to see you playing along at the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

    I so get what you mean about "the lack of control" concerning watercoloring or distress inks. But how you've used it here is absolutely brilliant! Love the various colored brightly apples against the white background. And that embossed panel! Gorgeous!! This is a 'delicious' card (sorry, couldn't help the pun, lol). Love it! Bev

    Love your layout. Just perfect for those little apples. A friend just brought me a bag of early apples...hard to believe that we'll soon be moving into fall!
