Today's card was created for the latest Retro Sketches challenge. I have been making quite a few cards lately for the Send A Smile 4 Kids charity. If you're not familiar with them you can check it out here. I started with a white card base and then layered some basic black cardstock from Stampin' UP and some fun patterned paper from Crate Paper's Pretty Party 6x6 paper pad. I cut down a small panel of crumb cake cardstock from Stampin' UP and used a punch from EK Success to create the notebook edge on top. I added a bit of black jute at the top from American Crafts and tied it off into a little bow. I stamped the sentiment from Lawn Fawn's My Silly Valentine at the bottom in black ink and then stamped the apple from Paper Smooches Falling For You onto some white cardstock. I Copic colored the image, fussy cut it out, edged it with a black dual tip marker to make it look like a die cut and then popped it up off of the panel using some Stampin' UP foam dimensionals. I added some black dashed lines around the card for some interest and contrast and then popped the focal panel up off of the card using 3M foam tape. I hope you like it!

Wonderful take on the sketch, Celeste!
Super cute! Love your fun take on this weeks sketch! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Retro Sketches!
Celeste, This is so much fun, and I got a huge smile when I read it was for an SAS4Kids little one! I love how you take theme/holiday items and use them so well on everyday cards. :)
Thank you Sybrina! I love making cards for the kids and will have another shipment coming your way soon!
