Heart 2 Heart Challenge - Sketch Week

I recently discovered a great new blog.   It's been around for a while but I never took the time to go see what all the H2H Challenge talk was all about.  I'm so glad I found it!  There is some GREAT artwork on this blog.     This week's challenge is a sketch.     
Last weeks Design team member Mandy Leahy had a video demonstrating making paper flowers.  I could not wait to try it out.   It was a little late for me to get in on that challenge so I decided I would give this week's challenge a try and I just had to include one of those flowers! I used December's Stamp of the Month - Amore and Magnifique paper.

So, without further ado.... here is my card for this weeks H2H Challenge:

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
