For a Color Challenge on SCS I used this cute Pure Innocence stamp: Apple For you. I stamped her in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored her in with Copic Markers (C1, E00, E02, R20, E43, E44, E47, BV23, BG00, B93, YG03, YG17, R29, R59, Yr21, Y28). It was cut out with Label 3 Nestabilities. I left the die on the cardstock and airbrushed the background with Copic Marker YR21. The apple, hair clip and little heart on the jumper were covered with Glossy Accents. The image was first layered on a slightly bigger piece of Chocolate chip cardstock that had been sponged with Walnut Stain Distress ink, then on a Classic Square Rectangle Nestabilities die cut out of Real Red cardstock (sponged with Fired Brick).
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Real Red cardstock folded in half. The edges of the card front were sponged with Fired Brick. A 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Fancy Pants All Fall patterned paper was sanded and stitched to a 3 15/16″ x 5 3/16″ piece of Kraft cardstock that had been first sponged with Walnut Stain, then sanded to let the cardstock peek through for an aged look. A strip of cork was cut with the Jumbo Scallop Die-namic die and stitched to a 2″ x 3 3/4″ piece of All Fall paper.
The sentiment was stamped in Tuxedo Black Ink on the same patterned paper used as background and cut with Petite Oval Nestabilities. May Arts ribbon was tied to a bow and topped with a My Mind’s Eye button. The card was finished off with Black Rhinestones.
For the inside of the card I adhered a red jumbo scallop border under a 1 3/8″ x 3 15/16″ piece of All Fall Paper. The paper was sanded, then stitched to a 3 15/16″ x 5 3/16″ white cardstock piece. To finish it off I punched a 3/4″ cork circle (Yep, you can punch those cork sheets) and stitched it to the card with brown waxed linen.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day! Hugs and smiles

This is PURE perfection!! LOVE every bit of this!!! The layered nesties are a DREAM and I ADORE the cork too!
Beate this card is wonderful – I adore the colors you chose they work so well together.
question for you: Have you done a tutorial on tying the perfect bow? Or perhaps on tying a double bow that I have seen alot lately?
Also – when adding layers and 3-d embellishments to your card how do you send it through the mail? what do you use to send it in?
Sorry for all the questions…have a great day

Your card is wonderful! I really need some of these Pure Innocence stamps!
I know you must have a ton of these, but I just received a Beautiful Blogger Award, and have to pass it on to ten people who inspire me and you’re on the list. Thanks so much for all the inspiration!!

Lovely card Beate!! That girl is adorable! I like the airbrushed background you made for her… love the cork border too (I cant wait to try the MFT cork, it looks wonderful)… I also really love how you stitch the borders straight then add some zig zags in the corner sides, I noticed that on a few of your card lately…such a special touch!
