Winter Wonderland Woodland Skate Card

Created this card using the Skate image from the
Winter Woodland Cricut cartridge.

Had the idea of recycling some purple cardboard.
The purple cardboard came from an Egg Nog Rum
Cake bought 50% off at Neiman Marcus. Cake is
delicious. The purple cardboard has a texture to it
with blocks in 3 sizes: large, medium & small. I cut
the Skate image using white cardstock first so I
would know where to place the purple cardboard so
I would get the small to medium texture blocks for

the Skate image and not the large texture blocks.

Used some Spellbinders dies.

Used some new embossing powder to emboss the
sentiment
Let it snow
Stampendous PearLustre purple.


Used Liquid Pearls Lavender Lace on heel & sole
of Skate. Used silver glitter on the blades of Skate.

Was inspired by Cricut Holidays 2011 Warmest
Wishes Tag p100-101 by Kimberly Tracy.


















Closeup of card:


















Set the Cricut pressure & blade to highest and
speed to lowest. It cut perfectly on 1st try.

Closeup of purple cardboard cut.
The all large shapes are to the left.
The all medium shapes are to the right.
Mix of medium & small shapes in center which
is what I wanted & got.
