Spotlight Sunday At CC

Back again this morning with another little project from Cuttlebug Challenges it is a Love Sign created by Kim S. I did change mine around a little from Kim's BTW Kim your example is lovely be sure and check out her project very easy to do I have to say I learned something new today about my cricut I never knew I had a way of cutting the images out without using the shadows and blackouts so I thank you for that help Kim as well as the tutorial.

On my sign I used DP from Stampin-up instead of leaving the cardboard plain I also stamped some flourishes at the top and bottom corners with a set from CTMH the flowers are punched out using Stampin-Up punches used same DP on one layer of the flowers my love cut out is actually light pink and chocolate chip card stock although it doesn't look that way borders are cut from same card stock with Martha Stewart's eyelet lace punch added some of her rhinestones butterfly was done on the cricut as was the leaves added Crystal effects to the butterfly along with the pearls and some glitter and I almost forgot I used the Swiss Dot embossing folder added pearls to the flower centers.
