Scrumping

Isn't this just a classic childhood image, climbing trees to get apples. I've coloured the image with polychromo pencils. I used a punch to take the front edge off the card. A patterned covers the rest of the front of the card. Then the sentiment has been added with the edge cut with the same punch as the edge of the card base. It's not that obvious from the pictures but there is also a patterned paper inside the card that can be seen down the edge.

This card is very musical. Using a music score background paper and lots of die cut notes. The image it's self is the pre-coloured version. But I have still coloured over the top with polychromos to add slightly different shades to the image.

I really love this little Curly Coo. I've coloured him with Polychromo pencils. I have then die cut  frame and decorated the corners of it with a stencil called Fall backplate from Sweet Poppy stencils. Then I've just stamped a sentiment in a space on the frame. Such a cute image it doesn't need a lot of extra decoration.
