I have used the "Apple Wreath" set for my sample.....I'm so happy to have two more Thanksgiving sets now, this one and the gorgeous "Pumpkin Wreath".....thanks, Kelley!!!
The wreath was stamped, cut out with paper snips, colored with markers, wrapped with linen thread, popped up with foam tape, and then Ranger Glossy Accents was used to cover the apples and accent the greenery. The denim is from a brand new pair of jeans which was discarded by my brother after a friend grabbed him by the back pocket which caused a "wardrobe malfunction"! Luckily I was around to save the jeans for my sewing stash...yay!! Luckier yet was the fact that he was wearing underwear that day! lol!!!!

Such a lovely card. Love the use of fabric to make the wreath really stand out.
Beauty and texture! this is such a "wow" card, amazing. I had a mouthful of coffee this morning when I read your post, you made me laugh so hard!
Jeans...they just don't make 'em like they used to!
Love this card, it's so very country looking. I am stunned that you cut that wreath out with paper snips, there's so much detail. The glossy accents does wonders on the apples and to pop some of the green from the wreath.
Your wreath is terrific...love how you applied the linen thread...I just wanted to touch that wreath...really stands out on your card!!! Jan D., Florida

This card walked right out of the orchard! Brings back memories of my grandfather's farm. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful card.

The jean material brought me back to reality, after I was getting lost in a daydream. The glossy apples are just lovely, as is your card. Great card!

Thanks for sharing such a down to earth card. The pink gingham, denim, apples and green wreath adds a country look. Great card.
Love the country coziness of this card! Love the denim and how you came about it!! Thanks for sharing.
Very pretty. Love how you used the denim along with the red check. The wreath is gorgeous. Great job cutting it out.
The apples remind me of picking apples with my Gram many years ago. As much as I hated it during my "teenage" years, I would give anything to be able to do it now. Such wonderful memories. I will be sure to pass that tradition on when I get grandchildren. Thanks for sharing your creation.
Lovely.
Great card.
