Happy Birthday

Hello! Last week when my Nana was here visiting she was looking through the Sophie cricut cartridge and fell in love with this rose. So I cut it out and made a quick card for her to take home with her. I cut both layers of the rose out of white cardstock. I used tons of distress inks to color it up. Sorry, but I don't remember all of them. I then did some spritzing with copper perfect pearls and water in a mini mister.

I just quickly hand cut the leaves and stamped them with the Script Type Backgrounds from MyCreativeTime. I again used a bunch of distress inks to color them up. Flicked on some water while the ink was still really wet to get the splotchy look. I embossed the back panel with the Textile cuttlebug folder. The sentiment is from the Gift Card Sentiments set also from MyCreativeTime.

Hello

Hiya! Happy Monday! I finally used the Sophie Cricut Circle Cartridge today. :) This is my favorite of all the circle cartridges so far...SO PRETTY! This is just one of the card features on this cartridge. It is just two cuts...the kraft card base...and a white circle to go on the inside. I used a pencil and lightly traced around the design onto the white circle inside. I then used distress inks in shabby shutters, peeled paint, tumbled glass, and broken china to color in the image. 

After I colored it I misted it with perfect pearls in a mini mister to get this look. If you let the ink dry all the way you'll just get shine without the splotches...I like the look of the splotches. The sentiment is from the This and That set from MyCreativeTime. 

Hope you're having a FAB day!
