Betsy’s Appletastic autumn card tutorial

Hello everyone!  Betsy here today sharing a fall inspired card!  Where I live September starts apple season!  I used the Fruitilicious Tapes and Fruit Bowl to create my card. 

Let me show you how I put this easy card together! I first printed out what I needed.  I printed out the apple from Fruit Bowl in color because I knew it would match the tape perfectly.

I cut the apple out leaving a narrow white border.  I trimmed out the background, a white center piece for the middle of the card, and several pieces of the tape.  I trimmed out a piece of light creamy yellow card stock from my stash as a mat under the entire front of my white A2 size card base.

I took that white piece of card stock and used a polka dot embossing folder to give it more texture.  That completed my base.

I adhered the apple using some thin foam squares.  I felt the borders of the white panel and the apple tape on it needed something to make then stand out.  I had these slivers of card stock in my stash and I felt they really went well with the design and color.  The strips are about 1/8”.  I also added some enamel dots. 

I also used a white acrylic pen to add some very defined high-lights to the apple and a few dots near the center of the apple slice.  I left this card with no sentiment.

I hope you give these Fruitilicious Tapes a try.  They are very fun to create with!  If you do create something, tag us on social media – we love to see what you’re creating!

Til next time…
