JustRite Autumn Apples

JustRite Stampers is sponsoring 2 Sketches 4 You this week and has a $100 gift certificate up for grabs if you play along and link to your project!  Here's what I came up with for their sketch #31:

I used JustRite's beautiful new Autumn Blessings Borders & Centers set ... I adore Fall and this set is fast becoming one of my favorites!  It fits onto the Large Oval Wood Stamper (2-1/4" x 3-1/6") and the Spellbinders largest Classic Oval Nestabilities die in the small set fits it perfectly.  I matted it with the largest die in the Classic Oval Large set.

This image stamped out perfectly and beautifully with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then I colored it with these Copic markers:

I'll have a step-by-step Copic coloring tutorial on these apples hopefully later today, so watch for that.  (Edited: As luck would have it, my photos didn't turn out very well for the coloring tutorial, but I do have a Red Fruit Coloring Tutorial located HERE that I did a few months ago, which includes apples done this same way.  I hope that helps!) 

I hope you get to play along with this sketch -- it was very easy and really set off this image, I thought!  To see some more JustRite inspiration, be sure to check out what the 2 Sketches 4 You designers came up with using JustRite stamps!

What a beautiful basket of apples. Wonderful coloring job (as always!), Sharon. Can I ask a quick question about the grey shadowing around the bottom of the basket and the yellow around the top? How do you soften the edges of the shadowing so that it doesn't end so "harshly" again the white background. I have been working on that and still need lots 'o practice. (I love images that need to be colored either with copics or prismas!).

Anyway, thanks for the heads-up on the this sketch challenge - I'm going to try and play along too.
