Hello My Crafty Friends, My card today was inspired by a picture that I had seen on Facebook.  This is my version using many of Susan's Garden Notes dies - Forsythia, Cherry Blossom, Lavender, Ivy Vine, Hosta Leaves etc. Card is 6" X 6" with 5-3/4" square patterned paper adhered to front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive. Bottles were first cut on the Cricut.  I couldn't get it to cut the sticker paperas I so I had to cut them from cardstock then trace onto clear sticker paper and hand cut.  Several different size bottles  were cut cutting several of each size.  A green alcohol marker was used to color one bottle then second bottle was adhered over top of colored one.  Used black alcohol marker to edge each bottle. Created Forsythia in white and yellow, Lavender, Cherry Blossoms, Brunnera, Hosta Leaves and Ivy Vine which was added to back of various bottles. Adhered bottles to card front adding Kids Choice Glue to adhere to flower branches and  leaves....

Welcome my crafty friends! Just a quick post of a couple of cards I did last month for a couple special ladies in my life.  October as you know is breast Cancer Awareness Month.  These 2 ladies are survivors and I wanted to recognize that so I made them each a card.  I used Susan's Garden Notes, French Pumpkin, Feverfew, Dahlia 2 Hosta and Berry Spray all from Elizabeth Craft Designs .  The stamp set was one that I purchased with part of the proceeds going to Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Hope all you ladies make sure you get those mammograms it is so important. Thanks for stopping by! Christine
