Lawnscaping card challenge #22!!

Hello!

just a quick post tonight as it's getting late and I'm starting to droop!

here is my (very last minute) entry for the current Lawnscaping Challenge #22!! 

At first, I'll admit, I couldn't think of anything at. all. I love apples, I love autumn...but nothing came to mind. So I just let it stew for a bit (pardon the pun!) and this is what I came up with.
Apple tree + sack card

A cute little card, mostly very self explanatory. The only part that I can think might need explaining is the apple sack, which is an ATC sized piece of Sticky back canvas that I 'painted' with Frayed Burlap Distress Stain and then stamped on using Momento Ink and Lawn Fawn Sally's ABCs (my new favourite alphabet!!)  As you can see, I couldn't resist using my new Houndstooth stamp from Hero Arts on the tree either :)

I tied some jute twine around the corners of the canvas to make it look like a tied sack, but that ended up being removed because I had to re-size it. I still feel the twine would be a cute look so I might attempt it again on another card.

Here is the inside:
