Pot of Posies using Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet

It's Hump day!!!!!! What a week--work has tried my ever loving last nerve this week and it's only half over!  I have to admit every time I look at today's card I do get a lift in my spirit. 

I just love the Mother's Day Bouquet Cartridge.  If there was ever a perfect card to make using it, it would have to be the flower pot.  I used DCWV Citrus Paper collection and lots of chalk ink colors, a few tiny buttons and a lot of glue dots!

Here is close up of some of the flowers and how the inking gives a lot to each flower.  I also used my knot as my bow looked pretty bad--think I need to get Mel from Everyday Cricut and Courtney Lane Designs to give me some lessons! LOL

A super close up to show (at least try to show) how adding layers of color can really give more to your creations than just one single color. 

It is a card so the top three flowers were placed just so to cover the card insert, and I never was so glad to have a few extra leaves just to help round it all out.

My bottom layers for the flowers were cut at 2" and 2 1/4" and my top layers were cut 1/4" smaller, leaves were cut at 1 3/4".  This one may have made it into my hall of favs.

Make sure to stop in on Friday for the Pink By Design Team creation and on Saturday for my double page layout for Everyday Cricut!

Make it a great one!

Get Well Soon...using Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet and DCWV Citurs Collection

Hello everyone--hope you had a great holiday weekend.  I was off for three whole days and I only answered three work emails!  I feel like I could get a lot done this week.
So over the weekend I was able to get a few projects for this week done, photoed, and uploaded!
Two cards, a fun box, and a double page layout!  Talk about getting it done!

This is a simple card with lots of color! A for sure feel better to anyone that is not feeling well.
The solid paper is PTI and the pattern paper is all DCWV Citrus collection, sentiment stamp and die cut are also from PTI.

I used the cuttlebug and a sizzix folder to make the embossed background.  I just got a big order from PTI and this new die set is great!!!!!

So my flower is one that I have done in the past but love the look and I super sized this one! The Cricut Mother's Day Bouquets cartridge is packed full of great flower shapes. ALL the layers are different patterns and I inked the edges with fun color to add to the brights in the paper.  I also did some creative folding/creasing to give it a 3D effect.

I added a double layer matte on the inside with plenty of space to write a message!
I will warn you that i went a little crazy with this cartridge so if you have it I have  a number of ideas to share this week!
Make it a great one!
