All Occassion Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hello everyone!! I have been wanting to create a white and black card for months; but couldn't seem to get the right combination until today.  I love this card base created with the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge.  Of course, I had to add butterflies and a dragonfly.  The white didn't show up well with a white background so I chose this yellow with blue under the card.  I think it helps a little.  I love this Bugaboo Digi Silhouette  stamp with the darling little hummingbirds and flowers.  I had to find a way to use it.


Same card with white background.  Which one looks better or makes the white card features easier to see?  You decide and let me know under comment section.  Thanks.


I tried about 15 different backgrounds and several ribbons before I found the combination that worked for me with this digi stamp.  I also tried several different sized cards and cuts.  I hope you receive inspiration from this card.  The pearls are pure white; but for some reason in these pictures they look off white.

One week left in our June - Buy 2 get 1 free acrylic stamp sale.  Also, don't forget the stamp of the month which is Life Is Tweet for only $5 with a purchase of $50.  Don't forget to check out my Card Club!!  Tell a friend about the card club and make someone very happy!!

Thank you for stopping by my blog.  I hope you enjoyed my creation today.  It took a long time to create this because the patterns and the digi were not what I wanted till I found this combination.  I love this Bugaboo silhoutte digi stamp.  It looks 3-D; which is the effect I was working towards.  Have a wonderful day and Keep On Creating!!
