Fun with Skylark

To get ready for my Open House last night, I played with the remaining supplies from my Close To My Heart Consultant Kit. The theme was Skylark papers and embellishments.

This card was created using the zip strips. I trimmed them off of the 12x12 paper, then adhered them to a piece of cardstock taking care to match the pattern. Doing so created a chevron pattern.

Tools & Supplies:
X7177B Skylark Paper Packet
Z1985 Gold Shimmer Trim (NEW)
Z2195 Lagoon Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad
Z2111 Chocolate Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad
Z2153 Sweet Leaf Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad
Z1790 Cricut® Artiste Collection Exclusive My Acrylix® Stamp Set
Z1906 Cricut® Artbooking Collection Exclusive My Acrylix® Stamp Set

This little gift box was created with the Cricut® Artiste Collection (p. 37, 3D Object, 4" RDS, 7). Then I simply added an item from the Skylark Complements and a bit of Teal Shimmer Trim.
