It's time for another challenge with the Paper Craft Crew. It's kind of like a twist on last week - but this time I didn't interpret the sketch quite so literally.
Much as I love my Stitched Triangle dies I thought I should change it up a bit this time...and get out Harvest Hellos.
- Maybe you recall that I have a soft spot for diagonal borders so as I leafed through my Plaid Tidings DSP (new in the August - December 2020 Mini Catalog!) I knew I would do a Cherry Cobbler colored apple because this crisp Cobbler and white plaid would make such a great edge. I cut out a Stitched Rectangle piece from the 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" A2 sized piece so that I wouldn't waste the piece that would be hiding behind the other layers.
- I played a bit with white and Crumb Cake backgrounds for the apple itself and then ended up using them both by applying Whisper White craft ink to my Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder before embossing the Crumb Cake cardstock.
- The big apple was colored first with Blends: Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Granny Apple Green, Shaded Spruce, Crumb Cake and So Saffron. Striations - or the sublte striping on the apple peel were done with a Dark Mango Melody Blends.
- Though these words are stacked on the stamp that is part of the Harvest Hellos set, I cut them apart so that I could use them on the skinny strip part of the sketch challenge. I think that works pretty well with the typeset style font.
- The smaller apple piece is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
