Cardstock: Recollections
Green Stickles
Distress Ink: Walnut Stain, Peeled Paint, Black Soot, Wild honey
Large Wiggle Eyes
Scotch Quick Dry Glue
 
The file has dash lines that cut for scoring but I changed them to score the lines to get a smoother fold on the boxes. I pre folded everything and then went back and inked all the edges with the walnut stain. I inked the handles with the peeled paint ink and the leaves were inked with all the colors and then I scored the leaves to give them some shape and dimension. After the boxes were put together I added green stickles to the leaves and let them dry. After they were dry I added the wiggle eyes and they are ready to be filled with Halloween treats.

Mother's Day Shape Card

Cricut Machine
Gypsy
Mother's Day Cartridge
George and Basic Shapes Cartridge
Storybook Cartridge
Cri-kits gel pen and holder
Glaze Pens
White Gel Pen
Stickles: Yellow, Lt. Green
Pearls
Kraft Cardstock.

The card is a long card. It measures on the gypsy 5.42 w by 4.25 h.
The card was made on the gypsy. I made the card and then welded the flower shadow to the edge of the card. I cut the regular flower out in green and the flower part in pattern paper (a scrap). The flower came from the Mother's Day Cartridge. since this has no layers I had to cut the flower petal from the whole flower. I moved them on my gypsy so only the flower showed on the mat and did not have to cut the stem. I made another layer on the gypsy so I could use my gel pens to draw the sentiment and little flower border on top. Sentiment came from the mother's Day Cartridge and the border came from Storybook Cartridge. I used my glaze pens to color in the phrase and the border. I added the white gel pen to the center of the flowers. I added stickles to the large flower and put pearls on the inside edge where they will show when the card is closed.
Card was made for She's a Sassy Lady's Card Challenge.
Card was made for Cardz TV challenge #107.
