Olive You Card

Hey everyone,

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  I have been very busy making last minute Valentine's Day projects.  Today I made this card for my cousin to give to her boyfriend.  She wanted something very simple with red, black & white.  This is what I came up with and I really like the way it turned out ...she did too!  Not sure if you can tell in the pic but the top layer of the martini glass is a piece of the plastic casing that the ciruct cartridges come in. I cut the plastic casing flat, removing all the sides and ran it through my cricut for the image. This was the first time I had tried this and I'm glad I did. It gave the image the effect that it was glass.  I used my regular cricut blade and used a pressure of 6.  I did have to run it through twice since the first time it didn't cut all the way through.  So glad that I saved those plastic casings!  So here is a list of all the items used:
