It's the 3rd Monday of the Month and the folks at Cards in Envy have challenged us to make a card using the theme "Things with Wings."
Here's the card I made:
Things with Wings A2 size card = 5.5" x 4.25" |
I made my card using Cricut cartridges April Showers and Best Friends Imagine.
Here's how I made my card:
-
Mat 1 (green checked) = 5.25" x 4". Paper colors from Cricut Imagine Best Friends. Mat edge inked with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.
- Mat 2 (black) = 4.25" x 1.75".
- Mat 3 (solid green) = 4" x 1.5". Paper colors from Cricut Imagine Best Friends. Mat edge inked with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.
- Mat 4 (black) = 3.75" x 3.25". Mat is attached using foam tape.
- Mat 5 (yellow pattern) = 3.5" x 3". Paper colors from Cricut Imagine Best Friends. Mat edge inked with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.
- Bird and Bird Cage = cut at 3" from Cricut April Showers Lite cartridge. Paper colors from Cricut Imagine Best Friends. Edge of cage inked with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.
- Sentiment "Super TWEET" = from My Pink Stamper Punny-licious stamp set.
- Ribbon = from Michaels 1/8" ribbon. Bow tied using Bow Easy in middle of ribbon. Ribbon attached on back of mat with scotch tape.

Since I used a black card base, I added a liner to inside of card.
- Mat 1 (beige) = 5" x 3.75".
