Joyful Stars August Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joyful Stars Blog Hop.  I can't say that I can't believe it's August because it is so HOT and humid that it has to be August!  If you have come from Joyce's Blog, then you are on the right track.  It is a circular hop, however if you get lost along the way, you will find a complete list of participants right there on Joyce's Blog.
We have so many exciting new products, it was hard to choose just one to use!  Of course I decided to use Flower Market, the new Close To My Heart Exclusive Cricut Cartridge.

It is a get well card-in-a-box.  The flowers are so easy to make and they turn out so beautiful too!

Here are the cuts used on the card:

Title (Sending Sunshine) page 7 cut in Raspberry at 1 1/4"

Daisy page 46 cut in Tangerine at 2" and Pansy at 1 1/2"

Flower 1 on page 23 cut in Raspberry at 1"

Flower 1 Shift on page 23 cut in Lemon at 1"

Flower 1 on page 23 cut in Tangerine at 3/4"

Icon on page 32 cut in Lemon at 2 1/4" and 2"

Flower 1 Shift on page 14 cut in Pansy  at 1 3/4"

Container Shift on page 5 cut in Pear at 2", 2 1/4" and 2 1/2"

I planned to sponge the same color on the daisies but I was so excited with all the beautiful flowers that I forgot and put them together.  Sponging with the same color in gives them more depth.
