Apple Thank You's

I've been trying to get ahead in my crafting so that I am not scrambling when I want to make something.   I'm doing pretty good and I actually got to make these Thank you cards for my son's teacher.   She always sends them so, I figure it is a very useful gift. 

This set was made using Apple 1 from Preserves cartridge at 3 1/2", with the layers.  When assembling the apples, I used some black glossy paper under the layers, for the seeds.  The mat paper and the paper used to make the apple are from the Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety stack.  The solid cream paper under the apple was border punched with a Martha Stewart punch and then embossed with the Swiss Dots folder and inked the edges in red.  The sentiment is from Inkadinkado. 

And, although I didn't get a picture of it, I took the negative cut 'seeds' from the layers and I colored them black with a sharpie and glued them on the inside at the bottom.
