Lots of inspiration in this poem, even if you don't feel like creating an Easter project.

Get Well Soon

The new challenge at CUT IT UP is "send me flowers". I created a get well card with flowers all over! I created a card base and wrote the sentiment with my Cricut. I used a diecut to make the flourish and added a flower to it. Then I embossed flowers to my cardstock and used distressing ink to color in the flowers a little. I added some pearls.
