Basket of Apples Bday Wishes Card

Created this Birthday card using Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge for Basket & Apples. Used Glossy accents on the apples. Added Tim Holtz brads/long fasteners to the basket. Stamped sentiment with Scrappy Moms Dancing in Circles 2 stamp that I selected in a prize win recently. Inked the edges of basket & sentiment tag with TH Distress ink walnut stain. Attached the sentiment tag with twine. Used a scrap piece of fabric from one of hubby's old shirt. Used a LifeStyle Crafts GooseBumpz embossing folder for basket weave background.

  9. Great card, Melissa. I can't tell you how happy I am to have you back in our challenges. I honestly mean it when I say that our challenges just aren't the same without your participation. I know that not everyone can win every week, but just having you play along is like a weekly "prize" for me. You are a valued participant and I am grateful for your faithful participation. May God bless you as you share, and give you a week filled with His blessings. Thanks for stopping by!
