All Occasion Card Using Ching Chou Kuik Blue Sea Illusion and Cricut Artistry Cartridge



Hello friends. I am celebrating my 600 Followers and 3 years with Close To My Heart; and would love for all of you to participate in my Blog Celebration.  Click here for the blog post. Join my followers on Google Friend Connect, add your link and leave a comment.  No blog, no problem.  Leave me a comment letting me know you don't have a blog.  I will add you to my list.  I am giving away at least 25 wonderful prizes; maybe more; depending on entries. Anyone who wins outside US will qualify for digi stamps from my wonderful sponsors; as I am not allowed to send CTMH products outside the US.


It's time for another Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge 17.  We have 3 fabulous sponsors.  One of our sponsors is Ching-Chou Kuik.  I created my card using Ching-Chou Kuik Blue Sea Illusion digi.  Isn't she stunning? I had to use one of my gorgeous new Close To My Heart (CTMH) paper packs - Kaleidoscope.  I love all the fabulous colors in this paper pack.  I had so much fun coloring this digi.  I am still working to improve on coloring purple hair.  LOL!  


We have 3 fabulous sponsors that provided the images for the DT.  Our sponsors for this challenge are Flat Friends Boutique, Fresh Brewed Designs & Ching Chou Kuik.  Click Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge 17 to see all the gorgeous creations by the DT and the prizes offered by our wonderful sponsors to our lucky winners.  

I used my new Bow It All (bought at Really Reasonable Ribbon) to create this bow.  I still need a lot of practice; but I really wanted bows like Bonnie makes on her cards.  LOL! Thanks Bonnie for the fabulous videos on how to use the Bow It All.
