SPONSOR PRIZE PACKAGE -- $15 Voucher to the Soft Pencil Shop

All the details for this week's challenge can be found on the Sew Many Challenges blog.

In addition to the awesome prize package that Soft Pencil has generously donated, Elizabeth also provided digital images for the Sew Many Cards design team to use in creating a project. I was delighted to receive the Come to My Apple Home image. It features a cute little worm lounging outside an equally cute apple-shaped house.

I actually printed out four of the images in a tiny format, so I could use them for this week's Crafty Ho's Sketch Challenge.

Here is the sketch:

And here is my card:

I had some wonderful apple designer papers that worked perfectly with this Soft Pencil image. I also had some apple ribbon that I used as an embellishment. Instead of coloring the images (which would have been fun and adorable), I sponged Stampin' UP! Creamy Caramel ink all over them and then sponged Riding Hood Red ink on the edges. I punched them out with a Stampin' UP! 1 1/4" square punch. I layered the images on green cardstock, which I had punched using a Stampin' UP! 1 3/8" square punch.

A couple of scalloped borders (punched with a Stampin' UP! punch) and a couple of green glittery brads completed the design.

Easy and cute!
