Brightly colored apples will brighten up anyone’s day on this “Thanks For Your Kindness” card. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players!
This week the talented Joanne is hosting our monthly Clean and Simple challenge. The theme is “Use One of Something: Use One Image Only”. I used one large image featuring apples and leaves. I can’t wait to see what YOU create. But before you run off to gather your stamps, papers, and inks, remember that when The Paper Players use the term “clean and simple”, we mean cards that:
Have minimal layers and embellishments
Have plenty of open space
Are simple and uncluttered
Colors Of The Day
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
To meet the challenge criteria of using one image only, I selected the large image from the Apple Harvest stamp set, which featured three apples and lots of leaves. This image was fun to color using Stampin’ Blends. The Granny Apple Green leaves and Real Red apples are so cheery. This card will definitely brighten up someone’s mailbox. The largest Radiating die and the Crosshatch embossing folder add interest while keeping things clean. Three Parakeet Party pearls are the only embellishments needed.

Such a lovely card, Ann! I love the mix of textures in the background and those apples really pop. How have I not purchased this set…yet??
Ann, those apples are gorgeous! Well, so’s the card!

Ann, Your card definitely brightened my day. Those apples look good enough to eat! I love all the texture on your card.
What a great, yummy card! Those apples look good enough to eat! Your coloring is amazing! I will have to take a re-look at that Crosshatch EF….it didn’t jump out at me at first but I love the effect!
Stunning card! I love the color choices! TFS
Ann those beautifully coloured apples make a great single focal point – they do look good enough to eat! I love the hatched panel and have total frame envy too (every time I go to order these they are out of stock in the UK ;-( ) Great card for this week’s challenge!
What a pretty card! Those Apple look good enough to eat!!
WOW! Those apples look so realistic! Such fabulous coloring! I love Granny Smith Green with Real Red! That stitched die background is amazing! It adds so much detail, too! I hope you have a wonderful week, My Friend!
Those apples look delicious! The stitched border is a great addition to the card.
Sweet card. The apples look good enough to eat.
Like the stitched die and embossing folder used for the textured background.
Enjoy your day and stay safe from them severe storms.
This card is amazing. I will surely case it after my surgery thanks for sharing!
Inky hugs,
