I went with CAS for my card and cut out a frame using the stitched framelits and used it as a template to sponge the background in SU Powder Pink. I then stamped the cherries from this set in Crumb Cake for the stem, Pear Pizazz for the leaves and it had to be Berry Burst for the berries. A touch of Wink of Stella added to them to make them shine. The sentiments were also inked in Berry Burst. The ribbon is in Powder Pink and that completes the card. Berry Burst is not really a colour I use often because I'm not really a Bright's colours kind of girl - I much prefer to use muted earth tones - but Time Out challenged us to use bright and I think the cherries needed to be a bold colour.
And, as with all my CAS cards I have to walk away and not add any extras!
I'm adding this into the following challenges:
Addicted to CAS #143 - Berries
Inkspirational - Ice Creams - My card uses the berries and the Sweet sentiment
The Paper Players #PP406 - CAS Fruit and Veg
Time Out Challenge #116- Bright
I've just looked at this card again and made myself laugh - it looks like a Mrs Potato Head without a mouth! Not quite the look I was going for. LOL!

Being a 'cherry-addict' I'm totally in love with this card!! We are coming into Spring here in New Zealand and the cherry tree's won't be far away from blossoming. This is a brilliant CAS design and love the way you highlighted the background behind the cherries. And the little bow is so perfectly done. So glad you shared this with us at TIME OUT!
The sponged background brings attention to the darling berries, Fiona. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Addicted to CAS.
