Forever Young Flower Card

This flower card is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2". I started with a green card stock base. the patterned paper is from a K & Company paper stack. The flower is cut at 3" from the Forever Young cricut cartridge and is found on page 70 of the handbook. I used three different shades of pink for the flower and ran the flower center through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder to add some texture and dimension. The buttons are from a small pack I picked up at Michaels for $1 a few months ago. Ribbon is a scrap I had in my stash. The flowers are Prima flowers and I added a small pink brad to hold them together and attached them with a glue dot to each end of the ribbon. I made this card for the Jitterbuggin Challenge. You had to use complimentary colors, use a cricut flower cut, and use some ribbon as well as follow the sketch. Thanks for looking.

Jitterbuggin' Challenge

I made this card today for my first sketch challenge on Jitterbuggin' Challenge Blog. The recipe was you had to use pink and purple, you had to use a bug from a cricut cartridge, and you had to use a flower as well as follow the sketch provided. So here is what I came up with. I cut the worm from Create a Critter at 2 1/2". The circles were cut from George and Basic shapes at 3" and 3 1/3". Card base is light pink. The patterned paper is from a K & Company The Best of Brenda Walton paper pack that I picked up at Michaels. I used Prima flowers for the card. I added some small googly eyes to the worm and some Eucalyptus stickles to accent the green stripes on the worm. I have never made a card from a sketch so it was fun.
