This week I had to make a card for a friend who was being inaugurated as a Professor, not an easy choice of design. His subject includes food, hence the choice of labels.
Not sure of the brand of the sentiment stamp. The labels are all from a Webster's Pages paper, the bird from a serviette, with a Tim Holtz adage label and memo pin, metal corners and a pen nib. It is all backed onto
Basic Grey Wassail paper.
I have finally finished my April project for the Craft Stamper's Quartet blog I share with my three lovely friends. Here is a sneeky peek only.
Last but not least I promised an apple blossom picture. This is from a young tree and the variety is called Howgate Wonder. It is an amazingly large sweet cooking apple and I am hoping we may get our first crop this year. if you are interested in apples you can find out more about this variety here.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Great card for your friend Elaine. I wouldn't have known where to start with this card I don't think.
ReplyDeleteYour post on our CSQ blog is well worth a visit as your project this month is awesome.
The apple blossom looks too perfect to be real. I can almost smell it (now my colds going away, Lol)!

I wouldnt have known where to have started for that card either but think youve done a fab job.
ReplyDeleteAnd the photo is a real treat...thank you for sharing!
That quote is perfect for the occasion. Are you sure you can't give us some clues as to where you got the stamp? The font is lovely too. And you're certainly getting plenty of use out of that Basic Grey paper.
ReplyDeleteThere's something special about apple blossom isn't there? I love it when it still has the pink tinge. The house where I was growing up had four apple trees and a Victoria plum tree. As a child I used to play with all the little mini apples and plums that fell off during the year. They were just part of everyday life that I took for granted.
