I totally adore the new Peaches and Cherries stamp set from Flourishes! OMG when I sat down to color it with Copics, I could see that the artist’s shading is magnificent! This is one of the simplest cards I’ve done in a while. Say, are you ever surprised that even the tiniest little things make your day? Well, when I was coloring this, and oohing over the cherries a little light bulb went off in my head. It seemed to me that I had just seen paper with cherries on it. Woohoo . . . Graphic 45 to the rescue!! This is another of the papers from the Fashionista line called Vintage Cherries. Can you tell I’m in love with it?
It was pure serendipity to find matching paper, so I decided to make my stamped panel mimic the paper as closely as possible. After picking a matching yellow and green, I stamped the cherries on white paper and cut them out. Try as I may, my cutting of the stems just didn’t hack it so I whacked them off and stamped the cherries with stems on my yellow paper. Then I colored the stems with my Copics and glued the rest of the image down.
I cut out the entire set of Cherries with Spellbinders Standard Circles Small and bordered it with black paper cut with Spellbinders Standard Circles Large. For the curved banner I cut another Standard Circles Small and lopped off the top part – I made the interior curve with my SU Tab Punch.

Great card. I love the vintage look and you’ve done an excellent job of mimicing your stamped panel to the paper. Love how you made the curved banner.

I really like how you repeated the look of the patterned paper on your focal image with the “banner” piece in green.

These cherries are just gorgeous Becca! and what totally perfect paper! I love how you created the green border on the top of the circle – lovely card!
Wow! What an incredibly pretty card!! I love the matching paper. Isn’t that awesome when you find something like that?
Just beautiful, Becca! I adore the way you added the sentiment onto the circle! I’m so glad to see that SOMEONE is actually using the Graphic 45 paper that we got at CHA. I swear one day soon I will actually sit down and USE it!!
Wow! Your cards are so lovely. I look forward to viewing them.
Wow, you did a great job on this card…all your cards are beautiful…I just love how this all coordinates.

Becca,
Awesome card. Don’t you just love it when your supplies just come together that easy? Sure does make the project come together alot quicker. Somehow, I missed a post. Off to look at the one before this.

Just perfect, love the stamps and I like the papers.
What a beautiful image…I just LOVE Flourishes stamps. You’re right, they’re so beautifully illustrated. The way you did that half circle sentiment at the top is awesome! GREAT looking card!
I love this, Becca! The paper, stamp, everything is awesome! It all coordinates so well. As I was looking at the card, thinking about what you mentioned about the cutting of the branches, I wondered what it would look like to cut out just a few of the cherries and pop them up….
I may have to visit Flourishes and get this stamp!
So beautiful, Becca!! Love how you matched the image to the patterned paper!
What a gorgeous card! One of my favorites of yours. I love the color, the layout, the papers, and that bow! Beautiful work.

Becca you are so clever, I must case this idea sometime. Beautiful work!!
Becca, I LOVE this card! The way you color is always gorgeous; but I really like the way you think “outside the box”; like the way you cut out the sentiment piece and added a touch of bling! Fabulous, to say the least…
This card is exquisite and so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my gosh, this is just gorgeous. I would absolutely frame this!
I don’t know what else to say that hasn’t already been said previously.
Thanks for sharing all the details!!!

This is the most perfect match — that image and the Graphic 45 paper!!! Fab!!!
Great idea to chop off the top of the circle. The patterned paper is perfect for the stamp. Fantastic card.
