Back 2 Books "I'm a Big Kid Now" - Color Dare #358

This is my ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #358 "Inspiration Photo". Oh my, what a fun time this was, but very time consuming because I used a lot of Cricut cuts which were pretty small (many were only 1" and for some there were many pieces and colors for one item). Wish I had done individual photos of each piece to show the detail but below are photos from the Cricut Design Space and approximate size of them.

This was my project for our last day of our Buffalo Crop back East and even though some thought I was crazy a lot of input and conversation was shared by all. Gave to one of the girls at the crop because she has a Big "Little Grand" Kid going back to School this Fall.

This card was made for Coffee Loving Cardmakers  Caffeine Fueled Paper Play The Challenge "Miss Ink" using Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #521 and theme at Paper Smooches Aug 2019 School + Words.  

Apple image was stamped on Cranberry, Colonial White and NE Ivy Cardstock, each fussy-cut, pieced and adhered with thin foam tape for dimension on sliced apple.  Cup was stamped on Colonial White cardstock and colored with a variety of Copic Sketch pens, fussy-cut and adhered with thin foam tape for dimension. The sentiment tag was a die and cut using Juniper cardstock and adhered to striped background.  The leaves were a die and cut with Fern and Pear cardstock, adhered with glue, edges curled and positioned before the apple and cup were adhered.
