Fresh off the farm

Farm Fresh is the challenge over at the Gingersnaps

http://gingersnapcreations.blogspot.com/2011/11/gc125-chestnut-theme-challenge-farm.html  I love apples so this, I thought, was a fitting card to add for the challenge.  The basket is from Stampa Barbara, one of my favorites, the background stamp is  from A Stamp in the Hand.  The apples were cut using my Cricut, yes, individual apples cut, shaded and colored, then glued into place. The basket was stamped onto a tan cs and then highlighted with different colored pencils. It became a little tricky when I decided to do a portrait format, but it all worked nicely (about the third time around) A little touch of ribbon along the bottom finished off the layering.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my Fresh from the farm apples!
