I started out by cutting a large circle from a piece of apple green letter patterned paper. The circle was adhered to a kraft panel and trimmed, then topped with narrow strips of green cardstock and yellow ruler patterned washi tape. I stamped one of the sentiments from the Teachers Count set in white pigment ink on a gray circle, then heat embossed it so it would really stand out. I added it to the card, overlapping the patterned paper circle.
Instead of using one more circle element, I stamped and die cut two apples with the help of my MISTI. They were added to the card using foam tape. The finished panel was layered on a red card base.
