Cricut 360 - Date Night Invitation

Hello, and welcome to my first Design Team post for Cricut 360 - an AWESOME new challenge blog!!! To join in the challenge, and for a chance at the monthly prize, all you have to do is make an invitation of any kind (birthday, wedding, concert - use your imagination!) and link up on the Cricut 360 blog! Here is what you can win this week:


For my card, I decided to make an invitation for my husband - for a romantic date night! When you have kids, you learn REALLY quickly to treasure those opportunities!!! And it is something we try to make time to do as often as possible, knowing that we need to keep our relationship as a priority as well.

Anyway...for my card, I used the silhoette of the couple from Sweethearts cartridge. Inked the edges of the yellow shadow, and added some doodling, before pop-dotting from the background. I then cut the tag shape from Once Upon a Princess, and inked the edges of it as well. The sentiment is from a random stamp in my stash (possibly by Fiskars?) I used some felt for the banner, hand cut and glued down with Zip Dry glue. Added some Baker's Twine to the banner, and used some to attach the tag with the sentiment. Finished off with a litttle bit of doodling around the outside edge. 

Thanks for stopping by - now go link up your own invitation!!! Can't wait to see what you create!!!
