I can’t wait to share all of the new products with you. All supplies by Close To My Heart:

Z2118 Desert Sand Ink

Design Tips-The top pattern paper was created by stamping the floral stamp from the Card Word Puzzle set with Desert Sand Ink onto Vanilla Cream Cardstock.
The seam binding ribbon was colored by sponging on Outdoor Denim Ink.
The flower is from page 70 of the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge. I cut the flower at 3 5/8”. I sponged on Indian Corn Blue ink and inked the edges of the flower. The flower was rolled with a quilling tool. The leaves are fussy cut from a piece of B&T that is included in the WOTG Pemberley Kit.
The saying was cut with the shape from page 67 of the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge. The top layer was cut at 2 ¼”, the mat was cut at 2 3/8”.
This card is based on this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch #226. I chose the square version at 5" x 5" for my cardbase.
