Craftin Desert Divas - Apple Picking

Hey there,

Here we go again, it's time for a new Craftin Desert Divas release! We're starting with the new "Let's do lunch" stamp set, I mixed it with the new "Flower border" die and some other dies from previous releases.

I first started by die cutting all the papers from bristol smooth cardstock: a grass border, a flower border, a tree border, two tree trunks, two scalloped circles and several apples.

Colored the grass border, the scalloped circles and the bottom of the flower border and tree border using two shades of distress inks. Colored the tree trunks using two shades of brown distress inks.

Colored the flowers from the flower border using alcohol markers. Did the same with the apples and the trees from the tree border. Applied glossy accents the flowers and apples to make them pop more.

On a large piece of bristol smooth cardstock, I applied blue distress ink to create the sky. Then I assembled all the elements: first attached the tree border, then the flower border and next the grass border. Built both trees on the sides using the tree trunks and scalloped circles elements. And attached the apples using glue dots.

Colored the cute ants using zig markers, and I simply gold heat embossed my sentiment on a piece of vellum and attached at the top of the panel between the trees. Attached my image using foam squares, and finally adhered the whole panel on a white card base.
