Supplies included in kit:

     - Haunted Assortment - Grey Sparkles (retired)








Now let's start with the paper...

I absolutely love the colours in the La Belle Vie Paper Pack. The gorgeous smokey plum and blush pink tones mixed with the subtle black and neutral bamboo make for a great colour combination. I hate to see this product retire with the launch of the new idea book ! (See full retiring list)


Moving on to the bling --

From the sparkle black flourish cut to fit between the squares, to the grey sparkles used to embellish the initials of my hubby and myself.  The letters I and F were colured using the smokey plum stamp pad while the & symbol was covered in cardstock and sealed with liquid glass.  Lastly, the central embellishment was cut using the artiste cricut cartridge and folded into a spiral shape. The shimmer along the edges was added with the glitter glitz gel.



And for the opposite corner...

I embellished using more black flourish sparkles, foundry pin clips, and black gems on the cricut cut letters.  But what about the spiral flowers?  These were also cut using the cricut artiste cartridge and swirled to form 3-d flowers - Love the dimension they add !  And last but not least I added a quote or two to personalize MY display case.

And that's it... simply lovely  :)
 


But before you go, I'm sending my love to you with this adorable mailbox made with the Cricut Artiste collection... super cute and quick to make !
