Challenge #113 at the Creative Belli Challenge is the letter "C".
I am always inspired by bloggers (Glitterbees) Karli and Carrie great ideas with their Cricut projects. So, I dragged mine out and plugged it in recently. I added the Make the Cut software and found a Greek Alphabet SVG by Lora HERE. I also found this awesome 2 layer SVG of an owl by Penny HERE. Just in case you are wondering- an SVG file is an image that an Electronic cutting machine cuts out- what an intricate design- but this would make the perfect card for my daughter- she is a Chi Omega at College and the Chi O mascot is the owl. It is finals week for her, so I am going to get this in the mail lickity split so she gets it before Spring Break!
I used the Mono Dies technique by Technique junkies for the background- it is embossed using a SU folder and highlighted with Real Red ink. Here is a closer look.
I added a crocheted flower and a couple of charms hanging off of a bakers twine bow to finish my card. The two layers of the Cricut owl are on a Technique Junkies background- here is a close-up of the shimmer. The top layer of the owl is Choc Chip cardstock and the bottom Creamy Carmel.
I bough the Cricut 3 1/2 years ago to make a Sorority scrapbook for a Chi O auction- I used it again 2 1/2 years ago for another scrapbook- it has been in its box ever since. I will use it more now that I can cut out SVG files- love this! The charms were purchased for the scrapbook..... I just love making room for new 'stuff'! hahahaha
I am entering the challenge at the Cuttlebug Spot to use twine.

Well this is amazing! You really are justifying the cost of your cricut! I can't even imagine peeling all those greek letters off the mat to glue them on the background. You are very dedicated.
I thought you might like to know - I was just about to post a card yesterday when you read your email about needing a "C" card, and I held back the card I just scanned a day just so I could put it in the challenge. Funny how things work out, eh?
This is very cool!! I need to play with my Cricut more too!
