I've had my Cricut for a few weeks now but haven't really made anything with it, just been playing to see what it will do and I have to say I think it will become something I will use a lot.

I decided to see how this flower would turn out and while it's not 100% it is quite good I think, I cut it out in white card and then painted it with The Stamp Connection pearlescent powder paints, mounted it onto black and used a little piece of oriental paper that came in a kit from C&C quite some time ago.

I've been very poor about posting anything on my blog and the cards I have made have gone out without me taking a photo. Well I have got sorted after a fashion and thought I'd give Rainbow Lady's swirls challenge a go so here is my offering. You can find the challenge at http://rainbowladyschallengeblog.blogspot.com/ . I stamped the swirl pattern over a plain white card then painted the card with some pearlesent powder paints in pale gold, highlighted some of the swirls with the same paint but in red and then popped a chipboard tag again painted with the same paint and stamped with a pretty flower stamp.

Hope you like it.
