Today I have a card made using the Just Because Cards cartridge and the July stamp of the month. For this card I was going for a vintage fruit label look. I wanted it to be very bright and cheerful though.
The little banner was just a strip of White Daisy cardstock that I stamped and twisted into a banner. To get the duck tail ends I used a square punch.
All the shading was done using coordinating mini pigment ink pads. Those things are so perfect for adding depth to those cricut cuts.

| For chevron background, I used the In the Background stamp set and Buttercup ink. The sentiment from the July Stamp of the Month is stamped in Sorbet ink. |
