Time to show you the other two cards I made for the Women's Retreat. Both these card patterns are taken from our new Make It From Your Heart publication.
Here is the first one, where I added Chocolate to the Avonlea paper.
I love how this one turned out! I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to cut the speech bubble. It looked a little too plain for my liking so I stamped a pattern on top in 3rd generation (stamp off 2 times before stamping on your image). To add a bit of bling, or maybe a lot of bling, I added the Shimmer Trim in 2 layers to the Chocolate strip. I also added thick sponging to the pattern paper.
Here is the last card. I really wanted a colour that would pop since this would be a birthday card. I think Sorbet does it. Thanks to Tresa Black for her colour confidence chart.
I sponged all the pieces in Slate before putting this card together. I love the elegance of this banner stamp. A few Bitty Sparkles finishes it off.
Supplies:
Artiste Cricut Collection, including Word Balloons and Birthday stamp sets
I made all three of these cards fairly flat because I'm guessing that there may be some new stampers in my workshop. I also wanted to make sure the cards would be fairly easy to mail.

Happy Creating!
Such pretty cards and surprising color combos with Avonlea. I love the Chocolate with it. Cute use of the speech bubble. I always think I need to use it with a character but this is perfect!
