Gazebo Shaped Mother's Day Card

Created this Gazebo Shaped Mother's Day Card using Freshly Picked Cricut cartridge & my Gypsy to weld the images together. Used an off-white core'dinations cardstock for base & layer of Gazebo to give the Gazebo a an off-white marble color look. Used vellum for another layer of the Gazebo. Stamped the Mother's Day "World's Best Mother" sentiment on a tiny tag made from Kraft cardstock & Tim Holtz tiny tag die cut. Used mini circle foam & curled the flower petals to give the floral vine on the Gazebo a 3D look.
