For my project, I decided to stamp one of the images and color it with color pencils. I used Sweet leaf for the back round green. I outlined the leaves in a dark green, then I colored them in with a lighter green color. I did the same with the yellow for the flowers and the red for the apple. The image is stamped in black ink, and it is popped up with a little bit of foam tape.

For my project, I used the letter "G" on the Art philosophy cartridge from Close To My Heart. I cut out the border using an old paper packet called Typeset for the back round, and a piece of  Cashmere card stock for the center. I cut both of  the images at 5 1/2. I decided to make this for my youngest daughter to put on her door. For the letters in her name, I used a green called Sweet Leaf. The letters are cut from Art Philosophy as well, and they are cut at  1 1/2. The purple felt banner at the bottom is from Queen and Co. I got it a few years ago at the CK convention when it was in town. The sparkles are from my stash. I hope you like it!
