Swinging in the Breeze....

Good morning everyone.  I'm here to share the second project I made this week for Heartfelt Creations:    I also want to remind you that the semi-finalists for the new design team members are needing your vote.  Each year we add some new members to the design team and these semi-finalists are hoping to be selected to join the team.  You can find the links to these semi-finalists blogs on the Heartfelt Creations blog as well as the link to cast your vote for your favorites.

Instructions: My card size is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2". Make card base and cover with a piece of the paper collection. Cut out the medallion die using white cardstock and glue to the card front. Set aside.

Using Jet Black Memento Ink stamp the limb, birds and the birdhouse. Color with inks and the Dove Blender Pen and the Fantastix Blending Tool. Cut out using the coordinating die. Using the Flower Shaping Kit, shape the leaves and the limb.

Stamp the flower petals using Magenta Hue Ink and cut out using the coordinating die. Layer the petals and the little birds into the 3D Flower Shaping Mold, spritz with water and run through the Vagabond 2. Lay items out to dry. Once dry glitter the petals and the birds and allow this to dry. Once everything is dry use dimensional tape and glue everything down.
