A Fall Birthday Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It has been  a busy summer with little time for cardmaking! Needing a birthday card for a friend, I made time to play with my Cricut Maker. 
Card is 7" wide x 5" high cut from Colorbok Kraft Cardstock pad. Plaid Patterned papers are cut from DCWV Four Season Papers Pad. Solid Papers are from the scrap paper stash.

Cricut Cartridges:
Anna's Window Ledge Cards - Card is cut 7" wide x 10" high.
Using Insert Shapes feature, the white base mat is cut 6.75" wide x 4.75" high. The orange mat is cut 4.25" wide x 3.25" high. The lighter patterned paper is cut 4" wide x 3" high.
Anna's Lovely Layered Cards - Phrase Happy Birthday Friend is written on the light patterned mat using the Cricut Midnight pen.
JGoode Designs - Sunflower is cut 2.98" wide x 3.563" high. Writing is using the Cricut Very Berry Medium Tip pen.

I am playing along with this week's sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. I used my Fiskars hand cutter to cut the varying sizes of  plaid strips used for the background. Sizes are 1 strip at 1 1/4", 2 at 1", 1 at 3/4", 1 at 1/2", 1 at 3/8", and 2 at 1/4". I enjoyed working with this pretty sketch.
I love that pretty sunflower. The pen work adds so much detail to the flower.
Hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
