Anything goes- Whimsical Wednesdays Challenge

T.G.I.Wednesday already  :)

 two more working days and then vacay for me.. Oooooh yea!!! LOL

can ya tell I'm excited much...??

alright, enough of me dreaming and on with the post..

 Us girls over at Whimsical Wednesdays are having out Wednesday challenge reveal.. We were asked to create a card with HEARTS and I decided to use one of the wonderful sentiments from the Whimsical Fun collection..  I have big plans for this card, its going to get sent to my BFF that lives in sunny Florida..

so, here is my card for today's reveal:

I know I complained a lot about the Cricut Craftroom in the beginning, but I am eating my words .. I created this card using the CCR.. It was fun and easy and I got it finished in no time at all.. I guess it just took a few tries to get familiar with the layout of CCR..  the colors of all the cricut cuts (hearts and flowers) are colored in using the color pallette from Lori's Garden cartridge.. I then used my cuttlebug and the Victoria embossing folder to emboss the hearts and that hand cut tag..  The butterflies are a MS punch..

here are a few close ups:

added a few drops of white liquid pearl for some accent and I also rubbed each embossed heart with Ranger distress ink:  blue hearts: blue denim, Green heart: Peeled paint and brown heart: Vintage photo..

My flower and leaves are cut using the Mother's day bouquet cartridge, two different flowers on there, plus I inked the edges using Blue Denim and Peeled Paint distress ink.  I once again colored the flowers in by using the color choice in CCR.. then added a Basic Grey brad to the center..

I also added some lace ribbon, which I ran some thin brown ribbon through and then attached it to the bottom of the card using Glossy Accents..  plus, you can get a close up of the sentiment, which I stamped it onto some green cardstock, cut it to size and then rounded the corners, which I inked with Peeled Paint ink and pop dotted onto the tag..Whew!! a lot of little details, but it was so much fun to put it all together..

so, with that said I want you all to stop by Whimsical Wednesday's and check out what the rest of our amazing DT have been up to..
