Wild Card # 25

This is Wild Card # 25 Flower. Appropriate name. Turned out cute except, I made another girl card. What am I to do? The girl cards are more fun. There is no sentiment yet as I'm not sure what I'll do with this one. This card originally couldn't stand, so I added the leaf in a way that would make it stand. Works well. I also added the flower on top askew on purpose and pop dotted the petals for a 3D effect. I used the Cuttlebug all over this baby, because I didn't want to use any patterned paper. I think it made the Bazzill bling look more interesting.What do you think?

      Recipe: 
  • Bazzill bling: purple, green, aqua, pink and plain white Bazzill
  • White organza ribbon
  • Basic Grey clear pink button
  • EK success corner punch

  • Cuttlebug embossing folders:Polka Dots(flower),Tiny bubbles(center of flower), Herringbone(leaf), Floral Fantasy(square liner)
  • Cricut Cartridges: Wild card, George(flower center)

Wild Card # 22

#22, the Quote card. Not feeling this one. I like the inside more than the outside...go figure? I tried to keep it as simple as I could. I wanted this to be a masculine card. Boy, was it hard.

Wild Card # 20

Yahoo # 20!! Finally. This card is called the dial card...which I guess is appropriate considering there is a dial. It's kinda neat because you can stamp different sentiments on the dial. The original card has little holes all over it(kinda moth eaten).To be honest I had no idea what to do with this one. I decided to make this one by cutting it out in the blackout feature, and voila. I think it's kinda neat, I'll probably make this one again. I also had the chance to play with my slightly used new cartridge Hoot n Holler, Yay! (thanks again Donna)
Ingredients:
  • Brown and olive Bazzill, 3 types of brown cardstock, cream cardstock
  • scenic route summer collection(blue pattern and leaf pattern)
  • DCWV brown dot
  • brown ribbon from my stash
  • chocolate ink CTMH
  • stamps CTMH and Kraftin Kimmie
  • EKsuccess corner punch
  • metal brad and tab from Dat's ?brand
  • cartridges used: Wild Card, Ashlyn's(for the inside cuts), Hoot and Holler(owl)
