Freshly Made Sketches #200

Freshly Made Sketches is celebrating with a challenge, and lots of prizes.  My friend Nancy Lepek alerted me, and I just happened to have a card, already in the works, on my desk that I was making just for fun. So with just a few adjustments and some embellishments, it was done quickly. 
This is the sketch, pretty simple.  Here is the link.  http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/

This is my card.
I used an older Stampin Up set called Ladybugs, but there is an apple in it.  I stamped the apple with GKD Cherry Red  ink, and then used a water brush to lightly color them in. Thus making my own background. The sentiment is from Pink By Design.  There is a layer of Cherry Red card stock and a thin strip of it as well across the card. Then I added the numbers from American Crafts, and colored them red with Copics.
I was thinking of a Back to School theme, but i may use it for a get well card. too.

Thanks so much for stopping in, I do appreciate the comments as always. They are fun to read.
