This card was totally inspired by the Basic Grey Sultry papers, as soon as I saw the gorgeous rich mix of red/purple shades, the bright greens and the chocolate, I knew exactly what I'd make.
I watercolored this gorgeous bunch of cherries with reinkers and then sponged over the nestie template with chocolate ink. It gives it a real richness.
Adding the smaller Pinked Circles under the Labels 4 image gives it a lot of pattern and a pretty detailed layout.
I LOVE cherries - really tart ones too, especially in pie! We've had our cherry tree for 4 years now, and this year was the first year it produced cherries! I'll be making a pie in a week or two!

Beautiful! I just love your unique colour combo's on these!
Love your cards and your choice of color for the cherry card.
My mouth started watering when I saw the sour cherries. Where I grew up, we had a tree in our front yard and I was baking pies by age 10. We would eat the cherries right off the tree. Yum.
While taking a weekend drive through Michigan, we bought 40 pounds of pitted cherries to share with familly members. We love cherries.
