This layout is for the April 1st sketch challenge over at stuckonusketches. I bought several cricut cartridges on clearance a couple months ago for $4.99 and $9.99. One of the carts for 4.99 was Elegant Cakes. I used it to cut the bottom scalloped border in cream cardstock and the swirly vines in cream cardstock then glimmer misted the swirly vines in green. There are so many great cuts on this cart not to mention a beautiful font! I water misted the plum background paper and smooshed the edges while it was still damp, let it dry then inked.
Supplies:
cricut carts: Elegant cakes for the scallop border @ 1" that was welded together and I think the
swirly vine was cut at 3-1/4" then cut apart; George and basic shapes circle @ 8" and 7-1/4" cut out of that.
paper: patterned is K&Co best of Brenda Walton; cream and brown cardstock is recollections
plum flowers are from the dollar store floral dept. that I pulled apart.
white flowers are prima
flat back pearls
sizzix tropical paisley embossing folder on bottom brown strip of paper
Martha Stewart butterfly punch
Tim Holtz antique linen and vintage photo inks
Studio G green ink
