I'm so happy to introduce you to the latest Ribbon Reel Challenge for this fortnite. I was so lucky to be able to chose the inspiration photo this time with a little help from my friend Renee Lynch - who is a Pinterest junkie. Check out this yummy photo full of color and texture - don't those apples look yummy? All I've been hearing about on the news is the flu - seems like we've all had some version of the flu this winter so I thought I'd make a get well card. An apple a day and all that right?
I colored up this yummy stamp from Flourishes with Copic Markers. I wanted to makes sure to pick up some of the texture from the photo so I added a wood panel print across the bottom, some burlap ribbon, and burlap cord.
So you don't have an apple stamp - you don't need one - you can be inspired by the colors in the photo, the textures, the glass bottle the basket.. doesn't matter.
