Today I have a card made using the NEW Creative Cards cartridge! This cartridge is ten tons of fun! You can make some really great cards and even use some of the elements on scrapbook pages or other projects.
When I saw this cut I thought I had to make the flowers red poppies. I am very happy how it turned out. I stepped out side of my comfort zone with the color palette, but it totally works!

ReplyDeleteI have a question about this cartridge. Every time I see the images of this cartridge, I find myself staring at the image on the top row, last picture. I, for whatever reason, can't figure it out! It looks like some sort of flowers or two fish kissing. Would you please share with me so I can sleep at night? Ha.
