Stroll With Me

     Happy Hump Day in July. I love the middle of the week in the summer because the week end can't be far behind.Wednesday is WYEGW over at My Cricut Craft Room. What is that you ask? Well it means the Design Team uses the feature keys from any cricut cart we choose. This is a great way to explore all the possibilities the carts have to offer without using the main images.Today I am going to show a baby card I made using Baby Steps.

      Boy was it ever hard to photograph this card! I love to make my own backgrounds so for this card I used glossy card stock and some ranger alcohol inks. I used purple twilight, wild plum and silver and lots of alcohol blending solution. I started by adding my colors and then kept going over it with solution until I got a softer color back ground. This REALLY shines, lol.
     I used the image on page 42 and cut it at 2.75" with the phrase+, (glitter paper) + phrase layer. The edges were inked with Spun Sugar and Milled Lavender. Thistle stickles really make the phrase stand out.

     I decided to use the Inkadinkado flourishes stamp with memento Sweet Plum ink. I added a touch of Opal liquid pearls and some crystals from Say It In Crystals. Just a word about these crystals: they are awesome! All of the embellishments (including the buttons by Doodlebug Designs Inc. for the wheels!) were a gift from Erica. She is the most supportive person I know and love designing for her team. You can find these embellishments in her store Here.

     I also used a corner punch by Fiskar and finished the front with some vintage crochet lace and bakers twine on the wheels. After adding a small satin bow, I called it complete!!!

     The inside sentiment is by Cloud 9 Design "Simple Thoughts-Girl. I used the Spellbinders Nestabilities Lattice Rectangles. That's it for today. I hope you will go back over to My Cricut Craft Room and see what the rest of the team has to inspire you.
