Heartfelt Creations April Alumni Design Team Blog Hop

Good morning everyone and welcome to the April Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design Team Blog Hop! I loved being on the Heartfelt Creations design team and being a part of the Alumni Design Team feels pretty awesome as well!  Each month Heartfelt Creations gives away a $25 gift certificate to one lucky winner for product in their online store.  To insure you have a better chance to win you must follow along the links listed below and leave a comment on as many of the blogs as you can.  You never know who's blog will be the one used to pick a winner.   You have until midnight on Friday, May 2nd., to leave your comments and the winner of the gift certificate will be announced on Saturday, May 3rd.  


I used the Delicate Asters Paper Collection as the background for this card.  I stamped and cut out the flowers and leaves  using more of the paper collection and then added some extra shading using distress inks.  Rhinestones went on as a center to the flowers and as accents on the edges of the card as well as I dotted the "i" in the sentiment.  I hope you like this; it is using some of my favorite papers and dies and stamps from Heartfelt Creations. The colors of this paper collection just  makes me a very happy girl.  (I know, I know...I say that about each and every collection!)

Well that's it for me this morning...remember to visit as many of the links below as you can and leave some love along the way.  Good luck to you all.
