Cherries or apples ... or both!

Upon first glance I thought the stamp in the new set "Sprinkles of Life" was an apple but I think it really is supposed to be a cherry.... or maybe both!

Here it's apples...

And the wonderful new matching punch allowed me to quickly punch out the 'apples'!

I used:

• colour combo Watermelon Wonder, Basic Black, Soft Suede
• "Sprinkles of Life" stamp set (139971)
• Tree Builder punch (138295)
• Decorative Dots embossing folder (133520)
• Typeset Specialty DSP (133704)
• Large Oval (119855)

• Baker's Twine

This new stamp set is the Ronald McDonald selection and for every set sold, Stampin' Up! will donate $3 to RMHC!   How wonderful!!
