Birthday card for Cynthia


I've been MIA for a bit, but I have been creating, just no time for posting. I'll get caught up, I promise. I have a couple of projects completed that I will post shortly. I wanted to get this card posted so I could enter it in a couple of challenges. Cooking with Cricut is having a challenge to use at least two colors of cardstock, two patterned papers and two embellishments. My inspiration for this card was some super cute cut files from Mary Rudakis at SVGCuts.com to make birdhouses and I used it to enter the montly challenge on their forum. I used some of the elements to make the birdhouse and the flowers. I used the Heritage cartridge for the leaves and Simply Charmed for the bird. I printed the sentiments on my computer. The ribbon is Offray and the flower centers are Recollections Boutique Fluer Mini Rounds, all from Michaels. The base is from DCWV's Immortal Love collection (my current fave) and the pattern paper is from K & Co Super Paper Pad. The rest of the cardstock was just from my scrap stash. Thanks for stopping by.
