Today I experimented with my Cricut Design Studio weld feature to create a shaped card. I used the birdhouse and shadow from the April Showers Cricut Cartridge to create this card. I first sized and welded the birdhouse shadow. Each shadow was 5.3X6.0inches and was cut using a beautiful wood patterned paper from the DCWV Premium Photo Stack. I also cut a second image out of black cardstock to place behind the "wood" cardstock to give the card a little extra support. Before I deleted the welded image from the Design Studio screen, I sized the birdhouse face to fit the front of the welded card. I also used the wood grained cardstock for this image. After adhering all of the images together, I embellished with a few cute blossom and butterfly stickers that I found recently at my local Dollar Tree. I then added a cute little diecut bird from DCWV. I finished the card with some ribbon trim and a bow from the Ribbon Boutique and sprayed the card lightly with some sparkle Shimmer Spritz. I left the inside blank as I think this card has numerous possibilities....birthday, housewarming, get well, etc. Hope you like my first attempt at welding!! Thanks for looking.
