Yes, February is National Cherry Month, and I thought we Cherries really should take part!! So for February's Challenge, let's make some cherry-ific cards! If you just are not inspired by cherries, there also is a sketch option again this month. The sketch features cherries but you can substitute any other image/embellishment of your choice.
So here are your options -- one card only, please!
Option 1: Use a cherry or cherries on a card. You could use a cherry-patterned paper, make a cherry border, put a cherry on top of a cake -- you get the idea. Also, using the word "cherry " in your sentiment counts! This can lend itself to some puns, such as "You're cherry sweet."
Option 2: Use the sketch below. If you just are not inspired to make a cherry card, you do NOT need to use cherries -- just make a card based on the sketch and use another image/embellishment of your choice. Remember, the sketch can be turned sideways and otherwise adjusted to fit your card idea – the sketch is just a starting point.
Option 3: Earn a bonus by making a card using both the sketch and a cherry or cherries.
