I love the embossed background and the bright flowers. So how did I twist it? I used fruit instead.
I have a lot of flower stamps but not many that have dies and not being one for a lot of fussy cutting I decided to go another way - use my Cricut to do the cutting for me. Okay, if I'm going to do that, why not cut something different. For those of you who don't know much about the Cricut, which is an electronic cutting machine, you usually cut and layer colored (or printed) paper. Not me. I decided to cut from my regular Neenah Solar White and then watercolor the grapes with Distress Ink. Truth be told, I also used my Cricut to cut the tag, Actually I set up a number of tags and cut them all so I'd have a stash for other cards. I thought the sentiment from Penny Black fit the image (get it?). While going through some of my mother's sewing supplies I found a spool of wired thread that was perfect for grapevines so I added that to some twine. The basket weave ef is from Lifestyle Crafts.
Whew, that was long winded. If you only look at the pictures, that's fine. I'm just glad you stopped by.

Thanks, Bobby. Your card reminded me of my mom's favorite Bible verse..."I am the vine, you are the branches.." Nice memories from this really lovely card. LOVE the wired thread!! Brilliant idea. Your grapes are very cool, and the watercoloring is perfect. Super card. I think I'll smile all day now! Happy Valentine's Day. Bev
Your grapes are awesome, Bobby! Perfectly colored and I love the viney looking ribbon! The basket embossing seems a perfect match too! Love this!
Love, love, love those grapes, so sweet. Don't you just love electronic cutting machines...I have a Silhouette and do the same thing, it is always nice to have a stash of goodies ready to use. Your embossed background is just perfect for your bunch of grapes, just gorgeous!
Oh my, Bobby, what a fresh, innovative case of Kylie's card! Adore your pretty grapes a whole bunch *grin*; the wire thread and embossed panel are impressive added touches. Your colouring...happy sigh!
