I combined paper from Webster's Pages Sweet as Cherry Pie Collection with a vintage label from Crafty Secrets Garden Creative Scraps. I wanted to feature both corner designs of the 6" paper, so I cut it in the middle and pieced it back together, covering the seam with some vintage lace.
I thought this sentiment from Hero Arts Essential Messages worked well with the cherries, which also fits the Hero Arts July Fruit-Themed Challenge. I inked up the edges & added some Zva Creative Flourishes using one of my favorite techniques, which is to cut a single flourish into four parts to work with my layout.
