Today's 5" x 5" card was made using the new Freshly Picked Cricut cartridge! I loved this garden gate and originally was going to use it on a layout but decided on the card instead. I love the garland flower accents that are provided with this gate cut! SO CUTE! The flowers/pots are cut at 2" and 2-1/2" and they are actually 6 layers! They are very sturdy that way!
The "bloom" word art was cut at 3/4" high (2 layers) and then I used the white pen to give it some pop.
Now, let's talk GIVEAWAY for today!
