Good morning everyone! If you are wondering where I have been trying to get through the fog of an upper respiratory infection...I'm on the 9th day and I might just be coming around. I have laid on the sofa all these days and totally neglected my blog. I'm so sorry but I just didn't have it in me to sit here and communicate. Also right in the middle of everything my Internet service went down and I had to muddle through the "try this" stuff to finally figure out my modem was shot! So here I am with a new outlook on life, new modem, blinking happily on my desk, and ready to visit once again. I didn't realize how much I depend on the Internet these days. It is my window to the world and I felt stripped without it.
My card today is one I made for Heartfelt Creations a week ago and I'm just now sharing it with you.
The Heartfelt Creations Products Used: HCD 716 Layered Elegant Swirl Die, HCPC 3406 Botanical Floral 1 PreCut Set, HCPC 3407 Botanical Floral 2 PreCut Set, HCPC 3405 Leaf Medley PreCut Set.
My Card is 5" X 7" I made the card base out of watercolor paper and then cut piece of watercolor paper and ran through the Cuttlebug embossing folder. Attach to the card. I cut the the die to create a circle and then used a Spellbinders Standard Circle die to create the gold piece to go behind the circle medallion. I stamped and embossed the rose petals and then shaped them and formed into the roses. If you dampen the paper just a little it allows you to curl the edges and make the flower look like it is real. I stamped the leaves and cut out and placed them around the roses to create a sort of spray. And of course I used shimmer sprays to spray everything and give a gold shine.
This card could be used for many different occasions and I love how it turned out. If you would like any of these stamps you can go to the Heartfelt Creations Website and have a look around. I know you will find something you just can't live without. Their stamps are a quality product and you will not be disappointed!
Well that is about it for me this morning...I'm going back and rest a little more. Have a wonderful day and if you are able to....."Breathe"!

Another beauty, this and the gate fold are both gorgeous and I may have to have those dies.
First off I hope you are feeling better. That is a long time to be under the weather. This is a gorgeous card. I love the lattice. Great job.
What a beautiful card! So much gorgeous detail, but the colour scheme still gives it a simple, unfussy look!
I do hope you're feeling better. There's nothing worse than being sick!
OH MY! This is gorgeous!
Glenda, this is drop dead gorgeous. Absolutely stunning!
Hugs and smiles
Oh, my! Look at this incredible beauty! It's like a breath of fresh air in the middle of all the Christmas cards. I'm sorry about your illness. When you get down it's best to just take care of yourself.
