Birthday Card Using Cricut Artiste Cartridge

Hi to all you creative people!  I have been playing with my new Circut Artiste Collection.  I love the doilies on this cartridge; so I decided to play with them on this card.  I created this Birthday card for my granddaughter Lana.  This little girl reminds me so much of her.  She will be 10 years old; so I hope this isn't too young for her.  This is a Whoopsi Daisy girl I purchased several months ago; but didn't know how to use Digi stamps at that time.  This is only my second Digi stamp that I have colored.  I am still learning to use Copic markers. 



Inside my card

Check out my new videos - Click here for the Cricut Art Philosophy video demonstrating how to use the card feature. Click here for the Cricut Artiste video showing you how to use the two handbooks.
Supplies I used for this card:
Doilies - Cut with Cricut Artiste Cartridge
Circle for sentiment - Cut with Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge
