Crisp Apples

I played along with this week's CAS challenge over on SCS. It was a color challenge-kraft, vanilla, red and brown. I used my new Technique Tuesday stamp, Autumn Afternoon. See my wood grain on the kraft???? It's a new new technique I tried-letter press. Heather Nichol's has a great tutorial on her blog. It's really easy and gives great results, not to mention it gives you "more bang for you buck" with your impression plates. So the image is embossed and inked all at the same time. I inked up my stamp with my good 'ol SU markers. Stamped it on a piece of Basic Grey Manilla Basics dp that was cut with my notebook edge die-namics. Of course I couldn't help but add some bakers twine and a pleated piece of Jillibean Soup dp that was sitting on my desk. I also love that I didn't add a sentiment, that way I can use this card for any occasion. It's good to have a few of these in your stash! Have a great weekend!
