*crunch* *crunch* Sometimes there is nothing better than a nice, crunchy apple! When I first saw this stamp set, I had to have it! Then I mounted it and it sat for a few months before I finally stamped with it. It is a fun one to color and gives you lots of options!

For this card I used the stamp set Basket Full of Fun from Stampin’ Up! First I used my Marvy Giga Scalloped Oval punch to make the window. I decided to use a Fabriano Medioevalis card because they are so nice to watercolor on. I stamped the basket first, then made a mask and covered it up to stamp the apples. I then stamped additional apples on a scrap from a messed up Fabriano Medioevalis card, using my Palette ink for all the stamping. I colored the images in with my Watercolor Wonder Crayons, cut out the additional apples and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop them up infront of the basket. To make the apples look super yummy, I used some Crystal Effects – this stuff is so fun to use! I used a black pen to do the outlining of the scallop and then added some red gingham ribbon.

It’s a simple card and I love the way it looks! I’m finding that I like to do window cards more and more and the Marvy punches are great because they are BIG!!
