A fabulous new Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge begins today. Just look at that gorgeous scarf! I pretty much melted when I saw this inspiration photo because I love scarves. I can never have enough of them. The colours are amongst my favourites so I took this one literally when I set out to make my card.
I paper pieced all the apples (without the heart and stitch core) and leaves on solid cardstock. I arranged the pieces in the same pattern as the inspiration photo and heat embossed the sentiment in the corner to mimic the scarf designer's name. The apple and sentiment are from FOLKal Points and the leaves are from Hang Ups.
I hope you'll grab your Paper Smooches stamps and play with us today through November 16th! Only one Paper Smooches stamp is required and, if you don't have any yet, you can use one of the free digis that Kim offers in her store. Just click HERE to print and create. You could win some fun and fabulous Paper Smooches stamps to play with. Link up your projects HERE. I can't wait to see how you're inspired by this photo!

I'm taken with the way you can do a fairly literal interpretation of the inspiration photo yet end up with such an original creation! So pretty.
Absolutely beautiful Emily!
Wow! I love your interpretation of the trigger. It's perfect!

I love that scarf, too! I guess I'm still in Halloween mode because when I saw your card, I thought they were teeth--LOL! The card makes much more sense as apples. :)
This is stunning. You can totally see the inspiration from the photo in your card.
So awesome, Emily!! When I saw the card, I immediately thought of you. Amazing creation!!

THis is an incredibly detailed take on the inspiration photo - I especially love that you included the designer's name as part of your interpretation! I'm also digging the offset white border - definitely different, and it works!
So awesome!
