Simply Craft Kite Challenge

The March challenge at Simply Crafts is to make a project using the kite from Create-A-Critter Cricut Cartridge. This is what I came up with.

My card is a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" kraft card base. I used the Enjoy the Seasons Imagine cartridge and cut the blue cloud behind the cloud at 4 1/2". I then flood filled the kite base with a dark pink color from the Enjoy the Seasons color pallet and flood filled the second layer of the kite with a yellow and white dotted pattern from the cartridge. I cut the kite and the 1st layer only at 4 1/2". Since I didn't want the face layer I chose to not cut it. I stamped my kite with a Peachy Keen stamp from the Everyday Character Assortment. I added some rosy cheeks with some pink chalk.  I used a white gel pen to add the whites of his eyes and some doodling to the cloud. I used a black gel pen to add some faux stitching to the card base and to the kite. I cut the little kite bows off that cut out with the base layer and tied some twine bows and adhered those instead.

To finish the card, I added some yellow buttons and adhered my little kite to my card base with an action wobble so he could fly! Finally because he made me smile I added my sentiment. I just love how this turned out. Here is a short video that shows my card and also shows him "flying" on the action wobble.
