Inspiration Wednesday With Heartfelt Creations...And Semifinalists Announced!

Good morning everyone and welcome to my little corner of the world.  Here in East Tennessee we have been experiencing warmer than normal weather and my thoughts have turned to Spring.  Lilacs are a lovely way to welcome Spring and they make my mind wander to a simpler time of my childhood and my Grandmother's Lilac bush.  It was huge and glorious when in bloom and the scent was heavenly.  Oh to go back to those first days of Spring and the joy of being a child again... As I get older those memories mean so much to me and something very small can bring them all flooding back to me.  So lets walk down memory lane together and I will share another card made using the Heartfelt Creations Lush Lilac Collection! I hope to share some of my memories with you.

My card is 6 X 6.  Make card base and cover with one of the card fronts from the paper collection.  Set aside to let the glue dry. 

Using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink stamp the Lilac image and the Lilac petals.  I colored the flower petals before I cut out them out.  Cut out the Lilac image and use the Dove Blender Pen and ink to color.  I added the crystal clear and set aside to dry.  I ran the flower petals through the Lush Lilac mold and then used my flower shaping kit to give the flowers just a bit more dimension.  I added Prills to the center and some Crystal Clear and when everything was dry I glued the flowers to the lilac image and then I used dimensional tape to adhere to the card front.  I also added some Crystal clear here and there on the card front.
