Apple Harvest Bundle

I used the Apple Harvest Bundle to make this card!
Wow- what a fun bundle to create with!
Check them out.......
 
#162526- Apple Harvest Bundle= $53.00

Do you like THIS OR THAT?
 
I think that these words from the 'Happiness Abounds' stamp set
work perfectly when stamped inside this rectangle die & on this card.
Don't you?

Notice how I used the Split Card Textures Dies
AND I added some of the little squares back into the spots for some added dimension.
 
Along the bottom I embossed using the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder.
How did I get the ripped edge?
I laid the die over the top of the embossed CS piece & ripped
towards me, using the die edge as a guide.
