Sweet Girl Mother's Day Card with Sketch Saturday #562

Sweet Girl is the name of a fabulous new paper pack from Close to My Heart.  My card also features Cricut Metallic Gold written text from the CTMH Flower Market cartridge.

The Stitched Heart dies were used on Carolina Card Stock along with tiny flowers from the Grateful for You Stamp set in Carolina Ink.  

Here is the wonderful Sketch Saturday #562 that inspired my card layout:

It's Autumn at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog

Welcome back to another Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog post where we love to share what we make with our Cricut cartridges!  The current theme is Autumn and I chose to use the Close to My Heart Artfully Sent cartridge to make this beauty:

Close to My Heart products used:

     Artfully Sent cartridge

     Goldrush CS

     Champagne CS

     Barn Red CS (retired)

     Vineyard Berry ink--sponged onto Goldrush CS (retired)

     

Other products:

     Wings of Fire Rhinestones by Studio 18

     Gold Metallic marker by Cricut

The "tree with branches" card from Artfully Sent (pg.11 or #M10114D) was cut from both Champagne and Barn Red CS.  The Barn Red tree trunk was then placed inside the Champagne tree trunk and over the Goldrush CS which was lightly sponged with Vineyard Berry Ink.  I hand wrote the Happy Birthday greeting inside the Goldrush banner with the Metallic Gold Cricut pen.

Since this is a birthday card for my dear sister who loves everything Autumn I'm entering this card into the Seize the Birthday challenge.

We hope that you will visit the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog to see what the other fabulous Designers have made and share YOUR Autumn themed cricut project with us.  You have until Sunday October 25 at 11PM EDT to link up with us here.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
