Card Entry Winner!

amy — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 06:39:31 +0000

We cherish every card entry we receive at Cherish. But this one really caught our eye. The colors are vibrant and the added touch of three dimensional grass literally pops the design right off the page. Using a lighter color as a silhouette on a bold dark solid makes the image even more dramatic.

We are especially drawn to the way scraps of paper can be used, even super slim ones.

Thank you to Leslie Pon for an amazing hand made card.
You can come by the store any time to see it on display.
