See, I told you it was a fabulous sketch! And here's what I did with it....
I am so pleased with how this card turned out. Yes, I used the same paper earlier this week - I just love it. And I am trying to be really good and not buy new. I'm using what I have. I'm using what I have. I'm using what I have. (Yes, I'm convincing myself this is a good thing.)
I do love my new Cricut Expression. I still haven't played with it nearly as much as I want to, but here and there is good, too. I did used an SVG file that I got from SVG Cuts that I think is so pretty! When I put the card together though, the top and bottom looked so empty, so I went in search of paper piercing patterns and I found this one! I LOVE IT!!
Here's a detail photo of the card so that you can see the wonderful design to the SVG frame I used. You can also see the paper piercing I did.
Supplies:
Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White
Paper: Heidi Grace
Copics: RV00, RV10, E57, YG63, YG67
Paper Piercing Pattern by Madjara
Tools: SVG, SCAL/Cricut, paper piercer
Embellishments: Close to Cocoa grosgrain, button
