An Apple for the Teacher

This week on Hand Stamped Sentiments there is a theme of back to school, and what do you know, Ruth & I made this card!!

Ruth made the apples using a tab punch and Very Vanilla & Riding Hood Red cardstock. The tops were punched with a 1/2" circle punch. The cores were drawn with a Early Espresso marker which matches the freehand-cut stalks.

I made the base of the card out of Old Olive cardstock with a Very Vanilla trim that I punched. Then a small piece of Woodland Walk paper was added.

Such fun to create with a friend. I'd highly recommend it!
