Fallin' for You

Here's my card for this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club sketch challenge. It was nice to put away the bright, bold summer colors and switch to a warmer, more earth-toned fall color scheme for this one using the new Caramel Apple cutie.

I colored the image with Copic markers, adding a little Glossy Accents to the top of the caramel apple for a gooey appearance. The image is matted on an olive panel to coordinate with the patterned paper I used for the cardfront. It's a thin, textured paper and I used both patterns on the cardfront, going with the more muted stripes for most of the cardfront and the darker dotted piece as the accent strip across the cardfront.

I set the image on the cardfront over an orange strip and added a green button as an accent. The machine stitching around the card's edges and at the bottom of the orange strip was an afterthought and I'm glad I went ahead and did it to break up the patterns a bit. The set's "fallin' for you" sentiment is stamped on a kraft strip and slipped underneath the image panel--I couldn't find anywhere else to fit it in!
