Thank You with Apples!

Time for another fab challenge over at House of Cards!  This time you just need to use a die or a punch.  Can it be any easier than that?  I don't thinnnnnk so!  Also, be sure to check out Minn's tutorial.  I love, love, love her card--look how she created the pumpkins out of circles and ovals.  Super genius!

With my card I use two different dies--one die to cut out the square and another to create an impression of the tree.  Cool, huh?

The Details:  Spectrum Noirs EB2, EB3, CR3, CR7, DR3, CG2, DG3, PTI Mighty Oak Die, Jillibean Fresh Vegetable Soup sentiment, Recollections white 110 lb cardstock, Neenah Solar White 80 lb, Versamark, Stampendous Detail Black embossing powder, Deep Red apple stamp

Edited to add:  My Favorite Things Stitched Square die, Sakura white pigment pen

I'm entering this in Time Out 15 Stamping with Optional Twist of Apples,   Crafter's Cafe 84 Punches or Diecuts, and Virginia's View #8 CAS
