Cheery Cherry Thank You

Oh my ... how I love the Flower Fusion and Fruit Fusion series from Papertrey Ink. I needed to make a thank you card and decided to use the "cheery" cherry stamp and cherry die. All the colours and patterns remind me of a picnic in the park on a warm sunny day!

I started by embossing a piece of Pure Poppy card stock with the Swiss Dots Embossing folder and then adding a bright green Banner Border on the bottom.  The red gingham ribbon and bow were attached. The sentiment (from Flower Fusion #4) was stamped on the bottom corner with Holiday Red ink; the edges of the white card base were also sponged with the red ink.

I cut a 2 1/2" circle from white card stock and then stamped the cherry stem and leaves image. I stamped the leaves again on a little paper scrap and cut them out, then glued them to the original image. A green rhinestone was added.
The cherries were cut with the cute little Cherry die! The felt cherries really give such a great dimension to the focal image. The edge of the circle was sponged with red ink.
 
I wanted a little extra detail for the focal image, so I stamped Polka Dot Basics onto white cardstock, and then cut it with one of the Limitless Layers 2 1/2" decorative circles. I then cut the center out so that the original circle sits inside the  polka dot frame.
