Candy Apple of my Eye


I have been wanting to make the candy apple on the October 31 cartridge and I wanted to try to make layers since there aren't any for this solutions cartridge AND I wanted to see how it looked with Glossy Accents. So, I cut the candy apple at 4 1/2" in three different layers. The first is the light color that I wanted for the stick. The second was done on Design Studio, removing the 'drippy' cuts that are on the actual apple and then cut in red to show an apple under the caramel and then the red stick portion trimmed off. The third is the caramel with all the cuts and the stick trimmed off. I was VERY pleased at the results and the Glossy Accents! The actual card is a red base with a plaid mat paper from the DCWV Hauntings stack. I cut the green strip across the top at 1 1/2" then the cream color at 1" and stamped 'Apple of my Eye' from a Studio G stamp and then added some fall colored rhinestones.
