CharismaCardz #31 AND Cardalicious #25

happy thursday :) this is for this weeks sweet sketch over at CC designed by sally who mentions its her first design.. way to go sally! i think its just awesome! i really enjoyed the design. this is also for this weeks challenge over at cardalicious who theme is ribbon, flower and a journaling tag or spot.
for this i used my cricut and christmas cheer (the card base) and george (circles to create flower) cartridges.
extras include: ribbon, brad, cuttlebug corner and Martha stewart butterfly punches.
to assemble the flower i just cut 3 circles 2 of the same size, and cut slits in them. the top layer i cut a little bit off between each slit. i also cut the tips sort of in a little random curvy way. doodles on the paper and bent the petals up slightly. used a hole punch , added the center circle with a rhinestone brad. easy easy :) thanks so much for looking and commenting :) have a great rest of evening :) shelly
