Marigolds

Thought I would enter this card in three different challenges...Die Cuttin' Diva's (gardening cut), The Paper Variety (tic tac toe...use 2+ flowers, spring colors and scallops) and CropStop (use lace, real or paper).

I thought the potted marigolds would work for gardening. The flowers are the marigolds and the ones on the background paper, the pastel colors for spring colors and scallops at the bottom. The "lace" is the blue swirls.

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Two Shades of  Green, Two Shades of Purple, Blue, Two Shades of Yellow and Patterned Paper.
Cricut Cartridge Freshly Picked Flower 3 page 32 (Base, Shift Base, Layers Base and Shift, Layers 2/Shadow Base and Shift and Words Base and Shift)
Cricut Cartridge Paper Lace Dove 2 (Swirl) page 33 (Lace 2 Base)
Cricut Cartridge Christmas Cards Scallop 2nd Button
Cricut Design Studio
Orange and Purple Chalk (Shadow on Flowers and Pot)
Green Pigment Ink (Shadow on Leaves)
Mounting Tape

Hope you like the card. Just makes me wish for spring to come...lol. Let me know what you think.

Have a good rest of the day...imagine what you could do.........
