Newton's Nook Designs September Release - Apple Delights

*sniff sniff*
it's the last day of newton's nook's release for september!



the good news is: all of the new sets will be available for purchase on September 19th, here!

today we're sharing the 
Apple Delights mini set! it's super sweet and totally makes me think of fall, and apple cider, and mmm, warm donuts! lol! 

i decided it would be fun to ppaer piece! i LOVE my copics and watercoloring, but sometimes it's nice to paper piece too, right?


i used white embossing paste onto the white background for the crisp and clean feel, which i thought would go perfectly with the apples!



the sentiment was stamped onto some vellum and that's it! LOVE those caramel colored apples! i want to take take a bite! lol!

my next card is more fall, and warm and makes me wish i could put a sweater on! (it's still in the 90's here, and SUPER humid! so making these cards was a nice escape!)


i created the backtround with hero arts pale tomato and soft sand onto some khaki paper and the smallest of the apple stamps! :) my favorite is that some of the red apples were stamped upside down! 
then i used some distress inks on the edges and popped up the apple for extra dimension! 



the dark woodgrain banner was added and then i stitched along the edges!
