World Card-Making Day is on Saturday, October 1st, and I'm loving using my Cricut Expression2! For this card I used the Flower Shoppe cartridge. I cut a variety of leaves from white cardstock in sizes ranging from 1 1/2" to 2", and inked them while still on the Cricut mat. I sprayed a misting of Sunflower Gold Perfect Pearls, and crunched them up a bit after they were dry. I cut one of the flowers from the same cart to use as the golden sun -- inked it and added a gem. "Count Your Blessings" was cut from the Thanksgiving cartridge. For the card base I inked on a bit of Stormy Sky & Walnut Stain Distress Inks, and finished it off with a velvet green ribbon.
