I added four strips of the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper in different sizes to the card front, before I did any stamping.
Easy Coloring:
To color the apple and leaves I stamped the image onto a piece of Basic White Cardstock, and then onto a piece of Stampin' Up! Masking Paper. I cut the apple out from the Masking Paper using my Paper Snips and then cut out the leaves. I carefully placed the mask over the leaves and used my Blending Brushes to add Poppy Parade Classic Ink to the apple. Once I had the desired shade I removed the leaf masks and added the apple mask and repeated the process with Granny Apple Green Classic Ink on the leaves. I colored the stem with one of my Natural Tone Stampin' Blends.
I then used my Paper Snips to cut out the apple. I then took my Layering Circle Dies and cut out a 2" circle from Basic White Cardstock and a 2 1/4" circle from Granny Apple Green Cardstock. I used the new Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the Basic White Cardstock circle before attaching it to the Granny Apple Green Cardstock circle. I then added the apple to the circles with Stampin' Dimensionals and then added the circles to the card front with a few more Stampin' Dimensionals.
Finishing Touches:
To finish off the card I added a few white highlights with a White Signo Uni-ball Gel Pen.
