Bee-u-tiful

This pretty paper is from a K&Company paper pad that I have had for a couple of years.
This is a 4.25 X 5.5 inch card.  I cut each square at 1.25 inches.  Then put them back together on the card.  The bee is from the Art Nouveau cartridge page 56 and cut at 2 inches.  Then coated in Stampin' Up Crystal Effects.  I added two dark brown pearls for the eyes.  The leaf for the flower is from page 31 Layer 1 feature cut at 4 inches. The rose is a Recollections embellishment.  A little piece of ribbon tied into a bow.  The "Bee-u-tiful" stamp is a My Pink Stamper stamp from her Punny-licious collection and punched out with the Stampin' Up Modern Label Punch.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Mojo Monday #238

Believe

I don't know if you noticed, but the Cooking With Cricut Challenge that I entered with the Lollipop card that I posted yesterday had 2 girls that are suffering with cancer that they were trying to reach out to.

The lollipop card I thought would be suited for they younger girl and I thought this butterfly would be appropriate for the older of the girls.

The Butterfly is cut from the Art Nouveau cartridge.  It is on page 53.  I wanted it to be big so I cut it at 4.5 inches.  I put all the layers together then cut the shadow and popped it up on the shadow.

I put it on a 5.5 x 5.5 inch card.  The "Believe" is a my Pink Stamper Stamp from the Family and Friends set.

I am going to post it to the challenge.  I hope they don't mind that I post a second time, but I made a card for each child.

It is a wonderful thing to do to encourage a child and even more so a sick child.  It would be great if my readers would go to Cooking with Cricut Challenge 81 and participate with this worthy challenge.

Thanks for coming by and y'all come back again soon,

Iris

I was anxious to try out my new Art Nouveau cartridge.  I picked out this Iris to make a card for my cousin.

I cut the Iris and all it's layers at 4 inches from page 28. 

Then I cut the background that is the Font 2 Layer on page 60 at 4.5 inches in Shimmer Gold from PaperTrey Ink.  The shape seemed to mimic the Iris.

Then I cut it again at 5 inches in a green patterned paper from my stash. 

I wanted another layer to place on my purple 5.5 x 5.5 inch card base.  I couldn't find quite what I wanted so I heat embossed some gold stripes with a Stampin' Up stamp called Solid Stripes and Recollections Clear Gold Sparkling Embossing powder. I cut it at 5.25 x 5.25 inches and added it to my base card.

I ran a purple ribbon between the embossed layer and the green layer and tied a bow.   I added both the Green and Shimmer Gold layers with foam tape to pop them up a little bit. 

The more I look at it, the more it grows on me!
