"Practising Zen Gardening"

I spotted a Make It Now, project on the Cricut web site. So thought I'd give it a go.

Three Flowers, one is a succulent, the other two are as yet unknown.

I used a light green for the Succulent and Red for the Flowers, the Make It Now project, called for Pink flowers. I personally think that they 3 flowers have come out brilliantly. For some reason, my phone camera, has given the flowers a shine affect, despite using matt card
 I called this "Practising Zen Gardening"

The Succulent was made using a A3 and A4 pieces of Card Stock. The Flowers were made from A4 Card stock, one sheet per flower.

Christmas Present already hard at work.

As I've previously posted, I got a Cricut Explore Air for Christmas. And it's already been put to work.

The first project, was a Thanks card for my Mum, as a Thank You, for putting up with the Four of us and the Two Poodles, over Christmas

I used Glitter Card Stock, in Pink and Light Blue, and Silver Cricut Pen. Sorry the picture is not the best.

I've just completed my second project. this time including a envelope.





The Card is a Peacock design


Whilst it at first appeared to be a complicated assembly, it turned out to be straightforward.


I have to admit to being surprised, at how good it looks.
