Hi, A few days ago, Scrappy-Go-Lucky's awesome "April Flowers Competition" was announced - win your very own CRICUT IMAGINE. Today's "Two Up Tuesday" on Scrappy-Go-Lucky features some flowers Alyssa and I created for Mandy.
These are Alyssa's - I think they resemble some type of bottlebrush flower.
She worked on these all afternoon, colouring each flower centre with a Lemon Spica pen and then glueing them on.
Here's a photo of the leftover cardstock - she's going to use it as backgrounds for some cards.
These are my blooms - I loved using the colour combo of brown, green and turquoise.
Pipe cleaners, wire, and florist tape was used for the branches.
Apart from the pinecones, everything is cut from the Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge. I used Puffy Velvet pens on the petal edges and the stamens - and loved the end result.
I found the cut for the pine-cones on Gypsy Font - and of course, had to add some glitter somewhere.
This is my Baby's Breath - I "borrowed" some of Alyssa's leftover flowers.
I hope these have inspired you. For more photos, and all entry details for the "April Flowers Competition", head over to Scrappy-Go-Lucky.
Till next time,
Luv, Tereesa & Alyssa.

Retirement Card
Hi, Today I'd like to share with you a card designed for Scrappy-Go-Lucky."Summer Vacation" was released a few months ago, but as we're coming into the warmer weather, I thought it'd be good to go back and have a look. As many retirees now travel the world, the different images come together to make a nice retirement card.
Unless you have Design Studio with the Hide Contour Feature, and as there is no shadow feature on this cartridge, it is impossible to cut the suitcase without the straps and corner cuts. I really wanted this as a feature on the card, so I cut it out of the paper as below. (It is cut at 2").
I then lined up the area on the mat, and using the Cri-Kits gel pens, drew the message on the dark blue layer of the card. The retirement message is 1" and has been put together using the lovely "Gypsy Font". (Pack your bags is 1 1/4", and is from "Summer Vacation"). Both fit in the same size suitcase.
I inked around the edges, added a little more detail, some brads, and put it together...
These modes of transport were all cut between 1/2" and 1", and all have a touch of silver on them.
They are adhered to vanilla cardstock with a little inking.
The bus and ship are on separate pieces of card and attached using foam dots for dimension.
A few more brads with some ribbon to finish. Hope you like it.
Great news - Scrappy-Go-Lucky are now offering free shipping in Australia, and have some great specials on their Cricut Expression machines - so make sure you check it out.
Luv, Tereesa.
