Rose Blossom Garden Challenge #2 with Seize the Birthday #14 Sketch

The current challenge at Rose Blossom Garden is to use a cut from the Artiste cartridge "Happy Mother's Day" key.   I chose to use the crown (accent 4 shift at 1.5") cut from Close to My Heart Black and Grey Glitter paper and adorned with Pink Glitter Gems.  Whisper CS was used on the top of the card and the bottom of the card features Lucy (CTMH retired) paper cut up in strips.  The card size is 5" x 6.5".  The oval mat is Wildberry CS (CTMH retired).  The stamped circles are the back side of the Lucy paper.  "Celebrate" and "Happy Birthday to You" are from Perfect Fit--Birthday Stamp Set and "It's Your Day" is from a very old wooden CTMH Superset with a spring theme.

 

The sketch is from "Seize the Birthday" #14:

 

I had fun making this card and I imagine the person who receives this card will feel like a queen!
Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!

Happy Mother's Day! #2 (H2H, Fantabulous Cricut)

I'm entering this card into the Heart2Heart Challenge to make a mother's day item and also for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge to use something cut with a cricut for a mother's day item. I used the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge to make this Mother's Day Card. The center shape can be found on page 67 of the Art Philosophy handbook--shape 10, Decorative Layer Shift, cut at 2.5" from retired CTMH Metallic paper. The pink paper underneath the silver frame was shape 10 cut at 2.5" and is from the CTMH Lucy paper pack. This is layered over a 2.75" x 3" Topiary rectangle which was sanded for a distressed edge. The background rectangles are also from Lucy paper pack and are cut at 2" x 2.75". (The finished card size is 4" x 5.5") The greeting is from Close To My Heart "Say it in Style" which was clear embossed using Versamark and Topiary ink. A one inch Butterfly (2)was cut from page 55 of the Art Philosophy handbook and edge distressed with black ink. A thin strip of CTMH Silver Glitz gel was applied down the middle of the butterfly. The final embellishment is a 1/2" adhesive embellishment from Recollections. I enjoyed making this card and hope you have enjoyed looking at it too! Happy Mother's Day to all!

FTL 186 Clean and Simple Sketch Challenge

I love this sketch provided by Clean and Simple Stamping. The pink paper is from the Close To My Heart paper pack "Lucy" and the bluish green paper is from the CTMH paper pack called Florentine. The dragonflies were cut with the CTMH Art Philosophy cricut cartridge at 1.5" and 1". The dragonfly bodies were glittered with CTMH Silver glitz gel and the wings were glittered with CTMH Stardust glitz gel. The greeting was embossed with white EP and is from CTMH D1941 Hooray Bouquet.
