Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday #220



Hi everybody!  I am sooooo excited to be posting my very first post as a Friends of Flourishes Design Team member!  I have been a Flourishes fan for quite a while so this is like a dream come true for me!  Thank you so much to Flourishes for making me feel right at home!  Everyone has been wonderful!  Now, let's get to the challenge...Broni is our hostess this week and the theme is Blues and Greens.  You can find out all of the details for Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday Challenge #220 here.  And remember, you could win a prize if you play along, so go on over there and check it out!  When I saw the topic I immediately thought about the Apple of my Eye set!  I LOVE Granny Smith apples and I knew that I wanted to color these beauties up like that!  I stamped my image with Memento's Tuxedo Black ink onto Flourishes' Classic White card stock and colored with Copics.  Then, I fussy cut the image....it took a little time, but I think it was definitely worth it to showcase this beautiful image. The sentiment is from the same stamp set and I got a little giggle out of this after I stamped it because it probably ought to say "Sweet and Sour Friend" since I colored the apples like Granny Smiths...lol!   Gotta love a good oxymoron, huh?  ;)  The rest of the card is pretty straightforward with layers using Spellbinders' dies and my beloved gold leafing pen.  Yep, still a fan of that too!  I just had to use it on this special occasion!  I just couldn't help but take a close up picture so you could see the beautiful detail of this stamp!



As we say in the South...."How do you like them apples?"  LOL!  I sure do!  I know it was a dream to color!  Thank you so much for stopping by and please be sure to check out all of the gorgeous creations by my new team mates and leave them a little blog love:
