Apple of my eye - Craftin Desert Divas "Punny"

For the Die Cuttin Diva Umbrella challenge please go HERE

Hi everyone, 

I'm sharing a card over at Craftin Desert Divas. Please pop over and check out the new stamps. 

I just loved the 3 stamp sets in the new release, they are so fun!  For this card I used the new Punny stamp set.

I wanted to show that you can use the Punny stamp set and make a more traditional card. I know not every crafter uses face stamps and thought I would give you a different look and another option for this set. 

Look at the clean crisp look of these stamps.

I used an apple from the Cricut Cartridge Plantin Schoolbook
