"Cherry on Top" Card

Created what I'm calling the "Cherry on Top" card. Had about 5 do overs on this card. I thought I would try to sand the edges of the leaves & totally messed up the stems. I got glue on some of the pieces and it was noticeable even after using distress stain ink. I thought perhaps I would trim teh leaves with decorative edge scissors but made a mess of the leaf after a few snips. Forget what the other mistakes I made but finally came up with this.
