Courtney Lane Designs: Elegant Floral birthday card made using the Artiste cartridge

Hello, friends!

Today I have a card that I made using the Artiste cartridge and a few stamp sets. This was seriously quick to put together, but doesn't look it. This would be a really great way to use your smaller scrap pieces.

For the swirly part, I used the black flourishes and then just cut them up and arranged them until I liked the design.

This is a stamp from a great set that you can get for $8 if you spend over $150. Email me if you are interested!

I have a Cricut my husband gave me for Christmas. A cartridge of this type would be perfect to use.
