This was not the project I planned on making.  I created an awesome card on my Gypsy only to discover that my Gypsy will no longer cut out welded items.   As sad as I was about this, I was initially blaming my Cricut Expression which costs twice as much to replace.  Long story short, I am getting a new Gypsy as an early Birthday Present.

I had to start over and create a new card, and I decided to dust of my Cricut Imagine and create something.

I cut out these scalloped rectangles with this paper design from the Hopscotch cartridge.  I cut them out at 4x5.

I scored and folded the top 1/4 inch of one of the rectangles.  I adhered them together with the colored sides out.

I thought this cupcake and sentiment from Gypsy Wandering would look good on my card, but I did not like it.....

I used this butterfly from Art Philosophy from my original card idea.  I took an extra scalloped oval from yesterday's banner and used the back side as a mat for the butterfly.  I inked the edges blue.

I folded the wings up and added some blue crystals to the body.

I tied some 3 Girl Jam ribbon on the side of my card and it is complete!

Thanks for stopping by!  Your next stop in the hop is MISSIE!
