Roses Birthday Card

Had bought the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge last year but not used much; at least had not made flowers. Decided to challenge myself and make some flowers. I like Yellow Roses. Made the sample that is described in the booklet that comes with the cartridge. Not many any of the samples in the books before either. Had not used much of any of the stamps that came with the CTMH cartridge or the ones I bought in addition. The sample in the booklet uses the "Happy Birthday" stamp that came with the cartridge so I used that stamp for the first time on this card.



















Cricut cartridge:Close to My Heart Art Philosophy
   5" Card feature Oval4 base, 2 3/4" Oval3 layer tag, 
   1 1/4" Decorative Font feature Tag3 flourish, 3" & 4" Font feature Shift Heart3 Roses
ink: Memento Rich Cocoa
paper: cardstock - Kraft base, Kraft americana off-white,  
   core'dinations scraps brown &yellow,   
stamp:CTMH Celebration sentiment "Happy Birthday"
Tim Holtz: Distress Ink walnut stain
