Hat Mother's Day Card

Created this Mother's Day card using the Forever Young Cricut cartridge. Discovered I had not linked the cartridge to my Gypsy but I had the Gypsy replaced Fall last yr so it has been some time since I've used the cartridge.

Used Meshed Texture embossing folder. Used Distress edger on leaf & flower petals. Used Distress Inks on leaf & flower petals. Used white ribbon on hat & on side of card.
Stamped sentiment.
