Today's challenge over at 365 Cards was to use the word "Eye" somewhere on our card. I thought of quite a few different ideas with the first one being "Eye Candy", but I couldn't decide on which fireman to put on the card so decided to go with the "Fruitful Greetings" from The Cutting Cafe who are also the sponsor this week on the challenges.
For my card today I used Making Memories "rhubarb tart" papers that I used to paper piece the apple with and then I distressed all the edges with Vintage Photo and on the apple I also used Fired Brick ink by Ranger. The cardstock is from Anchor Paper and is called Paper Bag. I love the way the papers look after you distress them. Then I got out my sewing wheel and did some faux stitching on the edges of the gree paper.
Hope you enjoy!
this is a perfect one for the challenge. luv paper for the apple. you could have had the fireman holding the card! LOL

Sherry you card is lovely. I, too love how the edges look when they have distress inks on them. We should get a petition going to fire Mr Linky lol.
