Birthday Card Using The Paper Shelter "Si Belle" and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge



Hello fellow crafters.  I hope everyone is doing well; despite some areas having a drastic change in weather.  We have been having extremely hot weather of 107 and 110; while people in some areas have had snow already.  

The Squirrel and The Fox are celebrating their third birthday; but sadly; this is our last challenge for right now.  Linda has decided to close the blog challenge and take a much needed break.  I hope you will play in our last challenge.  It has been a pleasure working with these wonderful ladies.  I will also miss working with all the fabulous sponsors we have had the joy of using their creative digital images.

Our sponsor for this last challenge is The Paper Shelter.  I chose The Paper Shelter Si Belle as my image for this last challenge. Isn't she beautiful and she is in Paris!  Be sure to check out their wonderful digital images.  Each set comes with both individual black and white images; as well as colored ones and those with the background scene.  Mine is the complete colored image with the background paper included.  All you have to do is add any finishing touches and you are done!  It is a very easy card to create with; no matter how you decide to make it.

      There is a butterfly near the glass of wine; as well as the butterfly die cut on the bottom part of the Easel card. Sorry it is hard to see; but they are both there. Thanks. Gloria

    I love the retro feel of that card! The sentiment frame and filigree butterfly embellishments make the inside even more beautiful. Btw, I would like to compliment you on your blog's design...it reminds me of the "Brushed" paper packet--it's very pretty!
