A simple A2 size card with the Cricut Imagine and Colorbok cardstock. I got this paper pack a while back because of the pink in it and never could decide how to use it. I cut my Mat (the brownish floral glittery paper) at 5 inches by 4 1/4. Then I printed out the Blue floral paper on my Cricut Imagine using Imagine More. Then punched it with my fiskars corner punch (it embosses, too)
Next I cut a Mat for my sentiment in nice soft green on the same cartridge at 3.5 inches and the white is cut at 3.2. I inked around both with Gingerbread ink. Next I decided to try my hand at rosettes. I had so much fun making these. Their are many tutorials on You tube on making rosettes so please check those out. My sentiment is one of my favorite verses from Verve stamps. It speaks to me daily.
Nehemiah 8:10
Do not sorrow for the JOY of the Lord is your strength. It is so very true. The Joy of the Lord is MY strength.
