Mother Mark wanted us to bring Cherries this week. So here are my Shrink art Cherries.
I made my Cherries using "Shrink-It" and colored them with my copics. I then used Bread wrapper ties for my stems (husband's idea) It worked really well for this card.
I hand embossed my background with a "Carrie" embossing stencil.

Hand embossed, wow you did some beautiful work. Great idea of using heat shrink, and tell your creative husband he rocks on using the ties! Love your branch and cherries!
They look ripe for the pickin', yummy, TFS

This is such a cute card with your cherry branch! Be sure to give your husband a pat on the back for his idea! It's a good one and is perfect for this!

Okay, what you did with the ribbon in the background is wonderful and so are your cherries. Your white background reminds me of the pizzelle cookies made in a press - so pretty.
