Bowl of Cherries

Thursday has rolled around again like clockwork!!  Where did the week go?... and the summer?  Wow, schools are starting around here!!  And it's time for a new challenge from Create with Connie and Mary; this week's challenge is a fun sketch!

I chose the bowl of cherries from the Giggle Greetings for the main image, stamping it in Memento Black then coloring it in with Blender Pens and ink.  I added Crystal Effects to the cherries which really makes them reflect light and catch your eye.  The green background was run through the Big Shot with the Elegant Dots Embossing Folder and layered onto Watermelon Wonder then accented with three White Perfect Accents.

Guess what I found in the new Cherry on Top Designer Paper Stack?!  Cherry paper of course!!  It is just perfect with this bowl of cherries;  I was so excited with my little "discovery" I couldn't wait to put them together!  : )  Linen Thread loops were added behind the cherry bowl image before it was added with Dimensionsls.  That's it!  Pretty simple!

Stamps:  Giggle Greetings
Inks:  Watermelon Wonder, Sahara Sand, Mint Macaron; Crushed Curry and Cucumber Crush Stampin' Write Markers
Paper:  Cherry on Top DSP Stack; Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, Whisper White
Accessories:  Blender Pen, Linen Thread, Big Shot, Elegant Dots Embossing Folder, White Perfect Accents, Circle Framelits, Crystal Effects.

Here's the sketch from Create with Connie and Mary this week:

Very interesting, hmm?  We can't wait to see what you do with it... it's really easy, just think washi tape, ribbon or DSP strips for the diagonal stripes; you may have an even better idea!  There's lots of inspiration over on the Create with Connie and Mary website as well as the guidelines for joining the challenge!

Thanks for dropping by today!  Here's to you and happy stamping for the weekend!
