Apple square

While playing with the Tart and Tangy set last weekend I also came up with this card.  I love the look of red, white and black together so a little red apple combined with black and white gingham was a happy combo for me.

I inked the apple in versamark and red so I could emboss in clear, but before the embossing I wiped off the stem and coloured  directly on the stamp in green.  I then used the punches and stamped a square of canvas background, which I matted in black.  The ribbon is done with Leanne Pugliese’s clever “thread through the whole and tie technique”
