Apple Cores

I thought I'd try to clean off my desk. Tonight that mostly consisted of sweeping everything into a drawer. As usual, I uncovered some buried treasure that I just had to use, stopping the cleaning of course. ;D I got a bag of assorted stamps from Unity, and one of them was three little apples, and another was a cute sentiment that went with them. I decided to punish myself for not cleaning up the craft explosion by doing a very simple card. Arrgg!! Pure torture!

I coloured the apple stamp with Faber-Castell Big Brush markers and stamped it repeatedly to make a background. I heat embossed the sentiment in white. Isn't that sentiment adorable? I found that ribbon on my desk and figured that since I didn't have five or more layers, I should at least have a ribbon!
Every so often I attempt to do a very simple card. I really admire people who do those well. I am not one of them! I do think my old fella will like this though. It's pretty gender neutral. No pretty shiny things on it. :(
I am entering this in Unity's Friday Friends with Flair.

  1. I agree great stamping. I am terrible with repeated stamping. The card is too cute with the sentiment and ribbon added to it.

  2. You did a great job lining up those apples. I would have had them wonky and all over the place.

  4. Great card in a cleaner style than normal for you. The sentiment is perfect with it and so is the ribbon. Have a great weekend, Shirleyx

  5. How did you get your repeat stamping so even? A Stamp-a-Ma-Jig, maybe? Anyway, you did really well with it, and it's a great CAS card!

  6. Very nice background that you've created. I believe the craft room is never really clean, because we find things to make more of a mess. Ha.
