To My Core

Here’s my card for today’s SCS sketch challenge. I combined the sketch with the colors from this week’s Color Throwdown—red, yellow, cream, and black—and the apple image from the Paper Smooches Falling for You set.

I colored the apple using Copic markers. After coloring it, I cut it out and set it on a cream panel using foam tape. The “love you to my core” sentiment is stamped underneath the apple.

I used two different patterned papers for the panels underneath the apple panel. Each is matted on a coordinating solid cardstock and machine stitched around the edges. The image panel is layered over the patterned papers. A strip of yellow grosgrain ribbon is looped underneath the image panel. A red button, tied with black and white baker's twine, sits at the bottom edge of the image panel. The panels are attached to a yellow panel, then a red card base for a bright, cheery look.
