Freshly Picked Card, Giveaway and Michaels COUPONS!!

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!
