Hi

I finally did another 2 Sketches 4U card. Michael's had their paper packs on at 30% off, I really stocked up! Even better than stocking up is that I am actually using them right away! This is a simple card. The paper is Amy Butler by Making Memories. The flower is on foam squares. I also paper pieced parts of the flower for dimension. I then used Celery Shimmerz over top. This is also my submission into the Flourishes Challenge, to use a flourish on a card.
Some detail:
Paper: Amy Butler - (K& Company)
Cardstock: Gray Wool, Black (CTMH)
Thickes Flourish (American Crafts)
Puffy Letters (Making Memories)
Shimmerz: (All that Scraps)
gems: (CTMH)
Cricut cartridges: Plantain Schoolbook, Accent Essentials
