For my project today Tracy, I decided to make a card that is "just 4 you"! :)

I used the Create A Critter cartridge to create the sentiment and cut it at 2".  Under the sentiment, I used some scrap paper that I had where I had cut the wrong size banner on the Country Life cartridge.  I thought it would give a good solid background for the sentiment.  (Can't wait to post the banner I made this weekend too!  Come back and visit!)

I then used the Simply Sweet cartridge for the layers of the flower which I used the shadow of the image.  With 5 layers, I started the cuts at 2 3/4" on the bottom one and went smaller by 1/4" for each flower until the one on top was 1 3/4".  I curled each of the petals on the flowers by just using a pen and my fingers.  In between the flowers, I added some sheer fabric flower cut-outs that I had to add a different texture.

Instead of throwing it away, I used the center cut-out of the largest flower on the bottom as the center for the top, then topped that off with an orange rhinestone!  I inked all the cuts as well with brown ink.  Then I added a hot pink ribbon and some pink ric-rac on top, then added some accents with a white gel pen!

          

Then on the inside, I added some more pink ric-rac and some dots that I cut out with my hole punch. 

I really hope you've enjoyed your card Tracy and I hope you all enjoy it as well!
