One of the things I love the most is flowers, if you look around my blog you will see that I use them often. In fact sometimes I tell myself, now make a card WITHOUT a flower on it. LOL. So when Cricut came out with the Flower Shoppe cartridge I "had" to have it. This is my fisrt flower made with it.
It was so fun to make, I am going to have to make some more. All the papers including the flower I printed and cut using the Imagine cartridge Blossom. I love the papers in this cartridge. I have just had my Imagine almost two months now and I just love it and it seems to stream line my card making. It sure cuts down on the time I spent looking for papers to match on my card. The stem of the flower was made using the parenthesis cut from one of the cartridges and the leave I ran through my paper crimp-er. I guess I could run the flower parts through it also, I will have to try that. The center I put some Viva Decor pearl pen, then sprinkled with glitter. I also sprayed the flower with Glimmer Mist to give it a bit of sparkle.
I also used my sewing machine to zig-zag stitch the green checked paper to the pink part. The "hello" is a stamp. So what do you think of my first Flower Shoppe flower?
Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment. I love to read them, besides that way I knew you were here to take a peak.
