Here is my card for the current challenge at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog, which is to make a project that has something to do with being sick. I don’t know why, but this challenge stumped me. I couldn’t think of anything exciting that I wanted to make. I started several different projects before the light bulb finally went off and I had a clear vision of what I wanted to make.
The card base is Bazzill cardstock, the patterned paper is Basic Grey, and the solid that the turtle is cut from is Stampin’ Up. I cut the turtle using my Cricut and the Create a Critter cartridge. Since I am wishing the recipient a speedy recovery, I figured I needed to give my turtle some running shoes so she could speed things up a bit. I cut the shoes from My Community and laced them up with some white cording that I found in my stash. I used the Cuttlebug embossing folder Swiss Dots to emboss the bottom edge of her shoes. I also gave her a hat, which I cut from Paper Doll Dress Up. The label that the sentiment is printed on is from a Lite cartridge, Lacy Labels. I used Create a Critter for the flowers and the tufts of grass. I added pearls to the centers of the flowers.
The flowers on the inside of the card are also from Create a Critter.

Love your card. The turtle is so cute and I love that it is wearing shoes. 🙂 Thanks for playing along with us at FCCB.
I love your idea and your colors! I keep trying to resist buying Create A Critter since I already have Animal Kingdom, but I think I’m going to break down eventually!
I just LOVE this card!! Those laced runners are such a fantastic touch. Your papers are gorgeous and I love the combination of floral with plaid. Super job with the inking as well. GREAT job!
