carousel birthday

my sister is very fond of carousels so when I saw the carousel on CTMH's Artiste Cricut Cartridge I knew I had to have it!!  The paper is once again from CTMH's Dream Pop collection.  It makes me happy just looking at it!  I welded the front and back together attaching them only at the bottom left which means it doesn't stand very well but I didn't want to spoil the look by making the front the same width as the back.  Although it's hard to tell, the front of the card is just the upside down triangle paper and the orange base of the carousel.  I tied some embroidery cotton in bows around the horses necks and added a few gems.  The flower that is peeking out in the centre opens up so the inside sentiment doesn't show through to the front.  The white cardstock is DCWV glitter cardstock and unfortunately you really cannot tell how shiny the orange cardstock is nor the texture that it has.  Here's to hoping it is a new product coming soon from Close to My Heart!   scrap happy...
