Cider - coloured pencil, die cutting

Some people look forward to Autumn for pumpkin spice. Me, I look forward to the spiced mulled apple cider. To me, it's the perfect cup of comforting yum. My apple-icious card features a Newton's Nook stamp set and die cuts with Koh-i-Noor pencil colouring.

Putting It Together

Mmmmm mulled cider. Perfect for a cold morning or a cold evening or anytime you need a snuggle in a cup. 

I stamped the cup on MiTeintes and coloured the cup of joy with Koh-i-Noor pencils. I got this set a couple months ago at a garage sale hosted by a local scrapbooking store. I figured I couldn't lose at $3, especially if you consider that's $3 Canadian. The comparison prices written on the box were from the former owner. I rather like how these pencils feel. They sharpen like a dream, too. I am more than pleased with my $3 purchase.

I used a scalloped die to trim the image and other dies to cut the rest of the elements for the card. The oval was actually left over from another project, perfect for this one. I also used scraps of foiled papers for the apple and leaf.

I used Distress ink and blender tool to edge my apply-y background.

I stamped the sentiment with a rusty clay coloured ink and assembled my card on a kraft card base.

Inside, I stamped a sentiment and an apple from the set. Have a delicious day!
