#2 Life's a Picnic Card

Created this card w/ a picnic/Ants theme. Stamped the Ants & sentiment. Tore the edges of the pink chevron paper to make it look like a frayed picnic cloth.

Love Tulip Flower Card

Created this Love Tulip Flower Card to give
to my hubby for the wonderful planting &
landscaping he does that brings me joy.
Even though we do not have Tulips we have
many other flowers such as the Hyacinths that
I photographed the card with this morning.
We have had a mild Winter here in Central TX.

Used Bloom Cricut Lite cartridge for Tulip
image which has 4 layers. Added some cardstock
cut with scissors to give it a grass look. Stamped
a sentiment. Added some gems for bling, glitter
and a ribbon.
