Hope everyone is having a good week so far! I am showcasing 3 projects I did with a summer/hibiscus flower theme.
It all started because I created a digi stamp for the card posted below for the Stampin' Sisters In Christ Challenge Blog.
PROJECT 1
This layout is made with Cricut flowers. The Hibiscus came from the Life's A Beach cartridge and the leaves came from Walk In My Garden. The butterfly was from Sentimentals cartridge.
Here is a view of the entire layout. I used an MS punch set to create the border around the outside. I used Bazzill, Bo Bunny and Basic Grey papers.
Here is a side shot of the butterfly and flowers to show the dimension.
Here is a close up of the butterfly. I started with a plain white butterfly and then inked the back and then inked the wing cutouts. I then covered the wing cut outs with Rock Candy Distress Stickles by Ranger.
PROJECT 2
Here is my Cricut with SVG file version. I created the Hibiscus and leaves and the Relax title on this one. I have a link to the relax title below. Please be sure to sign up for my newsletter. I will be sending it out tomorrow evening and I will inlude the FREE link for the Hibiscus flower cut file.
Here is a view of the entire layout. I used Bazzill, Bo Bunny and Basic Grey papers to complete this one as well. I also used an MS punch for the border strips.
Here is a closeup of the butterfly and flowers. The butterfly is from the Sentimentals cartridge. Sorry, I didn't have time to make one this time :-)

PROJECT 3
This is what started all the summertime flower madness...lol! I created this card for the Stampin' Sisters In Christ Challenge Blog.
I created this digi stamp and colored it in with my Copics. I did hit the centers with just a touch of yellow stickles. So hard not to bling!
I used Bazzill and Bo Bunny papers to complete this. The finished size is 6 x 6.
Here is a side view to show the dimension. I popped the digi stamp from the rest of the layers to give the card some nice dimension.
WHEW, I think that covers it for today.
