Friends with Flair - Cherries!!!


Good Friday morning!!! I made a card last night for the monthly Unity Challenge: Tooty Fruity, and thought it would be a great post for Friends with Flair as well!

I started by cutting the white frames with my Cricut, using Elegant Edges. I love the look of the Spellbinders frames, how it cuts and embosses. However...since I don't have any, I decided to try to recreate it by just cutting the frame out two times in white, in slightly different sizes. I really like how it turned out, so I will probably be doing that a lot more in the future! I then stamped and heat embossed the image and sentiment from the Sweet as a Bowl of Cherries Itty Bitty stamp from Unity Stamps. I planned on coloring it in, but I ended up loving the simple glossy look of the image when it was embossed, and just couldn't bring myself to ruin it! Finished off with a button, and a simple little Baker's Twine bow.

    I love your layered shape and how you left the cherries black and white instead of coloring them in! Beautiful.

    Very cute, I love that stamp and that pretty pattern paper.

    When you visited my blog for FWF you asked about the embossed paper- I did it myself using my Cuttlebug embossing folder that coordinates with the Cricut cartridge called Preserves, which is all about fruit. Hope that helps.

    I love how you did the frames. I'm going to have to try that! The stamping is great - it does look perfect without colour!
