Make It Monday #98 - Again!

Big and Bold Wishes, Teacher's Apple, Winterberry (PTI)
I made this card for this week's Make It Monday.  The idea was rattling around in my head all day, and I was finally able to sit down this afternoon and see if I could make it work.  Betsy Veldman did a great job on the tutorial.  You can see her video and card if you click on Nichole's blog here

I followed Betsy's tutorial a little more this time than I did with my last card.  It was kind of intimidating, but I wanted to give it a shot.  I also added some sparkle on the apple with a Sakura pen, some pearls on the leaf clusters, and some texture on the card base with the Woodgrain Impression Plate.

Thanks for looking!
