Apple of my Eye, you're just the SWEETEST!

Last week, I had some time to sit and play with the stamp set {Apple of my Eye} that is in the Occasions Catalogue. I had so much fun creating these two cards that I'm sharing today.

I first started with a piece of simple black and white striped designer series paper from {Go Wild Designer Series Paper Stack}. Then, I went stamping some colourful fruit to decorate the otherwise simple black and white. An orange, peach, pear, lemon and cherries... such bright and fun colours! I opted to fussy cut them all after I stamped them. I had enjoyed making this card more than I thought I would with oranges and lemons that I decided to stamp some more i.e. make another card. 

For this card, I stamped everything with the exception of the leaf directly onto the card front. I did this using a mask. I stamped and cut out the image I was going to use for my card and fussy cut it out. Now that the mask was ready, I could stamp my first image - a lemon. 

After your first image is stamped, put the mask over it and stamp your second. Repeat until you have stamped all your images. It makes it appear as though they are stacked on top of each other. A bright, and cheery card with a lemon, lime, grapefruit and oranges all lined up in a row! 

And you've got to just love the sentiment you're just the sweetest. So cute! I hope you like them, and try some masking for yourself - if you have any questions please let me know! Have a the sweetest day!

Thanks for stopping by, happy stamping!
