Bearing Down on the Apple Harvest

I scooped up these two free images – apple tree and bear – at the Birdie Brown blog the other day, and since I colored them before the month was over I’m participating in their challenge.  The only stipulation is that you use one or both of these images.  That’s my kind of challenge.  It looks like these free images will be available until Sept. 30.  You can find them and the challenge here.

I printed on Flourishes Classic White cardstock and colored with Copic markers.  The blue sky was sponged with SU!’s Soft Sky ink.  The sentiment is from JustRite.  I finally got to use one of my sweet little apple buttons, too.  I don’t even remember where I got it.

Have a happy day!
