Cal-gals Sketch Challenge #2

This is the second Cal-gals sketch I have participated in since making my comeback after that whole pregnancy thing! Looking at it, I thought, this is okay...I can handle it. Once I tried to embellish it though, the wheels went off the car...rolleyes

Here's the sketch Merlie provided:

Here's my outcome:


I elected to create some apples (to play off the image itself) out of my 1/2" circle punch for embellishments...uh, yeah. Okay, so it's not superb but you get the idea.

(Note to self: When card sketch calls for embellishments, do a girl card! So much easier with primas, buttons, etc.!)

This is adorable Allison! I usually just use stars for embellies on man cards, so I think your apples are awesome!

Nonsense. The wheels are most definitely still on the car.
