I made this card to participate in Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge #2 over at "My Creative Time". The challenge this week was to create a project using the "Stretch Your Imagination" cartridge and the colors red, blue and brown. I think this was the very first cartridge I bought after getting my Cricut. And I've probably only used it once or twice. This color combination was challenging, but I guess that's part of what makes it fun.
I have always liked paisley, It reminds me of my dad's ties when I was little. I cut the Paisley at 3" and 2" and added only one of the layers. The red layer I embossed using the Cuttlebug and Swirls folder. I added some ribbon and layered the paisley cut outs with dimensionals. This looks like a masculine card, and I'll probably use it for a Birthday.
I can't wait to see what Emma challenges us with next week...
I noticed after I posted this that the color is off. It should be red and not orange :)
I really like this cartridge. Come over and visit my blog at http://cheryl-gibson.blogspot.com
