Control Freaks Team Swap Day 3

Sweet Birthday Wishes with Sweetest Cherries!

This beauty was another swap card that I received for the Control Freaks Swap created by Connie Babbert. I love the two-toned cherries that she created by first stamping the Crushed Curry Ink on the cherry image and then partially sponging Sweet Sorbet Ink on one edge. You can see a close-up below:
