Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Orchard!





It is time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!


thedesignfiles.net

The LEAD of this challenge will be invited to be a Guest Designer in an upcoming challenge!




I love the rich colors in the inspiration.  The deep rich greens give off a blue green hue.  I started with some Pebbles Lakeside designer papers.  I love the mix of tonal houndstooth with plaid.  I feel they add to the overall orchard vibe.  I added some stitching and twine to add to the rustic feel.  I added two juicy red apples to the card.  I die cut two apples from Verve's Apple die set.  I stamped the coordinating image in hybrid black licorice using Teachers Count stamp set.  I colored both apples with copics.  I used the sentiment from Get Together stamp set.  I love this sentiment.   I guess every teacher feels this way during the summer.  I added a couple of pieces of Verve's Stormy Skies Ribbon Collection(I used the color Deep Sea) tied with some natural hemp cord.  I finished my card with a few Verve Shine Bright Sequin Mix.  I use these sequins ALL the time!  I am using this week's Mojo Monday Sketch.





Make sure you visit each of the designers' blogs for more inspiration!



As always thanks so much for stopping by!
