Cricut Cardz Challenge #107




Happy Wednesday!!!

Time for Cricut Cardz Challenge #107, this week the theme is "There's no other, like my Mother" Make a card for Mother's Day using any cartridge(s) and using any colors you'd like. I created this simple card using the Indie Arts cartridge. I wanted the paper to really make the impact, it's just so pretty to me. It's  by Momenta and it feels like it's made with material. The colors are really soft, I inked the edges of everything with Tea Dye ink, added some bling to the butterfly and the card looks pretty good to me!

I hope you enjoy my project and take the time to look at my design team sister creations, you may also enter your card here!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed day!
