Fall days

I got some fabulous fresh apples from the farmers market the other day, and have been baking away with them since, and when I went to create today I decided to use this sweet Bildmalarna image I got from the Paper Jewels store, called Mimosa Apple Basket.

The background is made using a Sizzix embossing folder fro SU--after embossing it I sponged Vanilla craft ink overtop of it to make the pattern stand out more.  I added some stitching and distressing around the main image, which as usual was coloured with Copics, and made the bow with my still relatively new Bow-Easy (had to watch the video again on how to use it, must need to make more of them).

I hope you all have wonderful plans for the weekend!  I've been procrastinating on my coursework, what with my driving lessons, card making, and baking, so will have to spend some time on that, but will definitely be finding time for a bit more creativity in my craft room too :-)
