This week's challenge at Fantabulous Cricut is Buttons and Bows - and we are challenging you to include at least one button AND one bow on your project. Unfortunately, the mother of a friend of mine recently passed away after a very short battle with cancer. I made this card for Hettie and it was made with an enormous amount of love and prayers.
I used Easter 2010 for the cross and Flower Shoppe and punches for the flowers. The cross is popped on the card. I used a script Cuttlebug embossing folder for the mat. The sentiment is computer generated and punched with a Stampin' Up window punch and shadow punch. I used some lovely Sky Blue crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot and finished things off with a button and some pearls.
If you are like me, you've got quite a stash of buttons, ribbons and twine in your collection of crafting supplies. Why not get them out and make something for this week's challenge at Fantabulous Cricut?!
