Friend's Bday Card / a Cricut challenge

One of my favorite Cricut blog, The Pink Stamper challenged us to make a project of any kind for a friend.  If you haven't already, you got to check out their blog for some Cricut FUN! :) This card was made for a my very pregnant friend's birthday.  Inside the card is a gift card to her favorite store, Old Navy :) ....

I used Cricut New Arrival cartridge and used a the scallop square from the same cartridge to make the base of the card.  I dressed her up with a ranger white pen and some pink rhinestones. I used a big yellow prima flower and cut out the flower from the DCWV pattern paper I used inside to layer it.
This is what it looks like inside:

Inside I used the flower cut and Cricut Design Studio to make an area to add a special message; the flower shape seems to work nicely here.  I like how the scallop look of the card and flower works nicely with the pattern paper.  I cut "to" from Cricut Story book cartridge.

Really had a great time making this card and playing with the New Arrival Cartridge.  Thanks for stopping by! Happy New Year!
