SP Color Combo Challenge #52

Hey Everyone! Happy Monday! It's going to be a great week and it's time for SP Color Combo #52!

I love this combo!  I wasn't sure what I was going to do at first, but then I had a thought!  LOL---Amazing how that happens!  I wanted to do something with cherries and I had a cherry stamp, so I made pattern paper!  Here's my card:

Products:

Cardstock:  AC(white), Stampin' Up(Pretty in Pink, Mellow Moss, Bravo Burgundy)

Stamps:  Cherry(SU), Sentiment(Studio G)

Embossing Ink:  Clear(Big & Bossy), Cranberry(Adirondak)

Embossing Powder:  Clear, Seafoam White(Ranger)

Chalk Ink:  Perfect Plumeria(VersaMark)

Ribbon:  Ribbon Bobbin(Michael's)

Marker:  Zig for leaves

I love how this card turned out and I think I am going to make a set of this to give to someone! 

I just love cherries, not sure why, but they make me smile!
