Cute as Apple Pie....

Good Morning...

Well, this is an exciting post... 
...my first as a member of the wonderful My Besties UK Design Team!  I can hardly believe I am typing that!  Thank you so much to Carol and the team for the lovely My Besties welcome...I am still in a state of disbelief that I am going to have the chance to showcase Sherri Baldy's gorgeous images...
Today's post is a special My Besties celebration, an apple blossom party to mark the launch of a gorgeous new range of Sherri's Apple Blossom Papers and Pocket Letters.

These are available from My Besties Shop as a download or paper pack. 

Please make sure you pop and have a look at My Besties UK - there are some beautiful creations by the DT and if you leave a comment you may be the lucky winner of a free Sherri Baldy My Besties digi.

To make my card I have used the My Besties paper pack and digi 'Apple Blossom'.

I coloured this adorable image with Copics and used the Apple Blossom papers to create mats and layers.

I have used some flowers from my crafty stash along with Bakers twine and an apple charm from The Ribbon Girl as embellishments.

Finally, I added some Doodlebug Sprinkles.

...and here we are a 'cute as apple pie' sweetie...

So sorry I've not been here before, but you know how much I love this card from seeing it on FB! I didn't realise I was so far behind with the comments though........

LOVE what you did with her...... WOW to those curls which are fabulous... and your particular style of delicate colouring suits these images so well!! And you've finished this off so perfectly with the apple charm! You really will be a HUGE asset to the DT at Sherri Baldy - they're luck to have you!

Big hugs
