I made this after seeing Crystal's sample for Stamps and Smiles sketch challenge.
I just loved the colours she used and decided to 'have a go' as they aren't colours I usually put together.
I omitted the So Saffron colour, purely because I got carried away and forgot.
(Count the sun-rays on the box's label as the So Saffron)! LOL
I used the Fiskar's Threading Water border punch to add a little bit of an accent.
A Nestie scalloped circle behind a Leone EM Hollyhock punch-out behind a 1" circle punch-out, makes up the greeting.
The DP is SU DSP in Bashful Blue. (Not that you can see a lot of it). LOL
LOVE that turquoise CS. I coloured the stamped image with Copics and 'polished' the apples with Glossy Accents.
Well... Thanks must go to Crystal for her inspiration and to Jennifer for sourcing the Top Note Die for me, not to mention the ego boost she always gives me! ;0)
Thanks for stopping by, I love your visits. Viv xxx
