Apple bucket
Just wanted to share some more new releases from Impression Obsession... The vintage Newsprint background is one of my new favorites... I stamped it first, then stamped the label from Journaling 1 (a clear set) right over the top and trimmed inside the outline. I sponged all the edges. The Apple Basket is stamped in brown ink and colored with pencils, and layered behind the frame - as usual, the colors I used are at the end of my post. I did a little creative trimming on the sentiment - here is the full image!
Here's that drywall tape again...love that stuff.

We finished our first week of homeschool, and it was such a great week. My highlight was today, for sure... my 6YO has had a speech 'thing' all his life, not being able to pronounce a /k/ or /g/ sound, but substituting /t/ or /d/ instead. He wasn't ready to read quite in Kindergarten, but I've changed my approach a little and it is really clicking now, I think. When he got to a /k/ in his reader, I had him push his tongue hard against his bottom teeth so that the back of his tongue would go up instead, and for the first time, I heard a /k/ come out of his mouth! He worked really hard on it, and later today was practicing on his own, hearing the difference, and even correcting himself. I get tears in my eyes just thinking about it. So proud.
Don't forget about the blog hop between the I.O. and Flower Soft design teams - you can find the details HERE.
Hope your weekend is wonderful!
WOW! Let's see...
ReplyDeleteI like the newsprint background and the way you made it look old. I am in awe of your cut out technique. The apple basket is so wonderfully colored! They look exactly like the apples I remember from the apple orchard in RI growing up. ...and I must have learned the creative trimming thing from you.
Well done! Your son and my grandson have the speech "thing" in common. GS's letter is L. I keep telling him to stick his tongue out!
This card is so very lovely - those dark reds are just beautiful and the vintage newsprint - lovely!
