I already had this card so I got a head start at today's Teapot Challenge.
These apples are hand picked by the locals for their color and taste. They have put a wire fence around them and a bee on duty to protect them from the evil Annie who is trying to take over the apple business. These have been hand picked and placed in this bucket for delivery to the farmer's market where the people who know where to find the best fruits and vegetables shop. Yea to the small co-op farmers!!!!
I cased this card earlier at a Parkerquilter's workshop where I can water color with reinkers to my hearts desire. She has every color pad and reinker. It is a card makers heaven!!! Plus just being in her craft room seeing her beautiful cards inspires me. Plus she has the best tasting water from her faucet anywhere. The city of Parker has GREAT water.
Thanks for looking. Comments appreciated.
Hugs to my Colorado, NC and California sisters

Wow - this is coloured so beautifully! I love how you've got some of the fence in front of the apples - they look good enough to eat! and that font for the birthday sentiment is great! I've not seen that one yet!!
