Precious Ones.........

I bought a new cartridge at the beginning of this month, one that I'd been umming and aahing over for ages. I decided to buy it and am I glad that I did! My giddy aunt! This cart is FAB! I bought it just for making shaped card bases with (can you guess which cart it is is?) Crikey! There are tons of shapes on this cart and I've been having a great time making some super shaped cards. I've just finished a wedding card for the weekend- I'll show you that one later- and I'm chuffed at how it turned out. For now though, I've got a couple of baby cards to show you. For the card base I cut two scalloped ovals in card (joined together at the side) and one in paper which was adhered to the scalloped card base. Then I cut a scalloped oval 'doiley' from white card which was adhered to the card front with foam pads. A plain white oval (embossed after cutting) shadowed with a gingham patterned paper oval holds the 'Precious One' sentiment which was cut from Papermania shimmer cardstock. I added a bow, a floral arrangement and a smattering of pearls to complete the card.
Have you guessed which cartridge I used yet?
