3D Flower!

Hello lovely readers, are you all enjoying your weekend, I certainly have been, lots of crafting today in the craft room, having a blast learning new techniques from the Online Card Class, A Cut Above..

Before I share my creation with you all, I would like to take a minute to thank each and everyone of you on leaving such loving comments both here on my blog and over at Basic Grey on my Guest Designing gig...it was so lovely to wake up this morning to all that love, has kept a smile on my face all day long, so thank you so so much!

Okay, now to the card, I have loved the second part of the A Cut Above class, especially as you know if you have been following me for awhile would realise the trials and tribulations I have had with my Silhouette Machine, but since finding and installing the new blade, it has been a true dream to play with and now with this class well it is just AWESOME!! those girls totally ROCK! so well worth taking the class if you get a chance.


So being in the craft room today, I played around with not just the silhouette machine, cutting out a 3D Flower from the silhouette store, designed by Lori Whitlock, I also used the manual side of die cutting as well, using one of my favourite go to dies from Memory Box. Adding all the elements to the card and finishing off with a sentiment and scattering of pearls...super fun!

I cannot wait to complete all the house work tomorrow so I can venture back in there again...

Alrighty, that is all from me tonight, I am headed to put the kettle on and have a cuppa, rather chilly here tonight...

Have a fantastic night or day where ever you may be in the world!

Hugs

Gorgeous, that Memory Box die is one of my favorites too. Don't have a Silhouette but, after taking A Cut Above, I may have to get one. Anyway love the clean lines of this card.
