Wishing You a Wonderful... CARD

I am really diggin the Art Philosophy bundle from Close to My Heart! I am not sure whether to thank Melanie or to choke her at this point because she is going to have me addicted to CTMH products! *okie thinks she will probably just say thank you and then buy Mel a drink on the next cruise*.

I really like the sentiment on this card because you can have a few of these made and then choose what you want to use it for later on. With the colors on this particular card I think I could use it for birthday, wedding or anniversary. There is even a little line and check mark for "other" so even a "thinking of you" could be written in there if so desired *okie thinks she sounded so smart by saying "if so desired"*

Supplies used:
Cricut Expression
Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge
CTMH Frames, Tags, Borders stamp set
Various printed papers and cardstock
Viva Decor Pearl Pen - Ice White
Liquid Pearls - Pastel Raspberry
3/8" Grosgrain Ribbon
Brads
Cat Eye Chalk Ink
Signo UM 153 white gel pen
Stickles - cinnamon


I wasn't sure I liked the color of the flowers for the card when I got them all cut out but I wasn't going to waste paper and do them over. I did decide I liked them a little more after adding some embellishment to them. I did pop dot the large yellow flower.

I cut the sentiment at the recommended size and then cut a base layer set at about 1/4" larger so i could have a shadow base.

If you are wanting to order the Art Philosphy bundle you can contact Melanie at her CLOSE TO MY HEART WEBSITE.

Oh and for those that know I have been sick for the past week I am finally starting to feel like I am going to live!! Thank goodness because I sure was tired of peeing my pants during all those dang coughing fits! *okie knows some folks are saying "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE SAID THAT" while others are thinking "dang it I hate it when that happens to me too!"*

    OMGosh Okie, I just love you so much!!!
    You remind me of my Oldest Sister that passed away in 2006 just 10 months before my sweetie.
    You and her would have got along so well because you both mean what you say and say wheat you mean. LOL....
    I loved her to pieces as I do my two younger Sisters.
    She wouldn't have thought anything about saying she was tired of peeing her pants!!!!

    I love this card, you could use it for lots of different occasions.

    I want this cart and hope to get it sooner than later ;)
