Guest Designer on Card Creations

Hey Friends,

I hope you all enjoyed a peaceful and restful labor day. I was asked earlier in the week by Christina Brooks to join a guest designer on Card Creations and more. She is having a challenge over on her website where the challenge is to use bling and ribbon. I recently recieved my rock princess cricut cartridge in the mail and wanted to use it to create a project that wasn't so "rocker-ish" instead of using the suggested colors in the cricut cartridge manual.. blacks pinks, whites. I started with my ribbon choice which was a warm dark chocolate color. I then paried it with some carolyn gavin green house paper.

I loved how this card came out. I cut the butterfly at 2 inches, and found the scalloped circle shape on Sugar and Spice Cricut lite, though there are many cartridges that have this same exact shape on them!

I used the Mojo Monday sketch of the week to come up with the idea of the card. I just loved the thought of stamping the sentiment on a tag and suspending it from the ribbon. I added a brown eyelet and attached it with some hemp cord to add extra interested the coordinating button tied with hemp cord off finished it off.

This was actually a very simple card to make and I think I will use this sketch again in the future.
