For my inspiration post, I have used the digital stamp set APPLE BLOSSOM from this month new release OCTOBER FEST.

I love fall and I adore this new release. You can find plethora of ideas running in your head as

soon as you have a look at this beautiful release.

Without further ado, let’s have a look at my card.

Key Ingredients

1. Apple blossom digital stamp set

2. White Cardstock

3. Oil Pastels and Q- tips for blending

Steps

1. Using PowerPoint, I flipped the blossom image, and added apple image to it( from APPLE

BLOSSOM stamp set ). Once I’m satisfied with my composition and size, I took print out on a

white card stock.

2. I coloured the image using Oil Pastels and blend the colours using Q-tips.

Usually water colouring would be my go-to medium, but this time I tried my hands on Oil Pastels to colour my focal image. 

3. To keep the apple blossom natural, I chose to play white and pink colour combo.

4. I fuzzy cut my focal image and adhere it on an ink-smooshed background panel with a bold

computer generated sentiment ‘So Sweet’ to balance the big bold apple.

5. Mount the front panel to the card base. Voila!

I hope you are inspired to take part in the challenge. More inspirations coming along your way.

So subscribe and Stay Tuned.

Thank you for stopping!

Happy Crafting!

Cheers!

Raga.
