Heart2Heart Challenge - Springtime Gift Holder

Happy Easter!  I took some time this weekend to continue to play with the Cricut AP cartridge.  Oh,  the possiblities :)  I made this cute little gift holder from the new Dotty for You papers from Close to My Heart's April campaign (more info below).  Just so happened that it fit the Heart 2 Heart Challenge for this week. 



I thought it would make a cute little Thank You gift for upcoming gatherings.  I used the Cricut AP cartridge to cut the holder, flower, butterfly and flourish.  The stamp is from "Enjoy".  I cut all the embellishments from white cardstock and then daubed on Hollyhock, Sweetleaf, and Lagoon inks to color them.  I love using the daubers to color with, it gives an almost airbrushed effect.  I added a little bling for the flower center and some bitty pearls on my butterfly.  I layered the butterfly and folded up his wings for added dimension.  Voila!  Super simple, cute and Springy!

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy Scrapping!
