You’re So Golden

Hello! I mentioned the other day how much I love the new I Pick You Collection from Hero Arts. I love using fruit imagery, and apples are one of my favorite fruits to color because they can be so many colors. I used the Apple Branch Stamp & Cut for today’s card, which is my favorite part of this collection.

My favorite type of apple is a Golden Delicious, so I decided to make that the first type of apple I color. I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and I colored it with the following Copics: E25, E29, YR31, Y21, Y35, G21, G94, G99, and YG67. I also added little black specks with a Copic-friendly pen.

I wanted a cool background, but I didn’t want it to take away from the apples. I decided to use the Lined Corners Embossing Folder from Spellbinders. I embossed white cardstock and left it as-is. I stamped my sentiment, which is from the Hero Arts You’re Golden Stamp & Cut set, with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink. I popped the sentiment and the Apple Branch up with foam tape, and added some shine with Luminous White Card Bling from A Colorful Life Designs.

This is one of my favorite cards from 2025. I just loved coloring the apples, I adore that embossing folder, and I’m really happy with how it all came together.
