Heartfelt Creations Inspiration Wednesday...Grateful Garden...

Good morning my friends and I hope you are keeping well!  It has been cold and snowy here in East Tennessee over the past few days.  No accumulations but just dusting roof tops and shrubs.  I love to sit by the window and watch the snow falling and so I have been content.  This morning I'm here to share another card I have made for Heartfelt Creations.  It is sporting some summer blooms so I'm hoping it makes you feel like we took a walk in the garden!

Other Products: White Cardstock, Dimensional Tape, Hot Glue Gun, Die Cut Machine

Instructions: My finished card size is 5" x 7". Make card base and cover with a piece of the paper collection. I used Sheet 8B Green. Next, using gold cardstock cut out the largest Royal Elegance Frames Die and using dimensional tape, add it to the card front. Using white cardstock cut out the next size down of the dies and using DDots attach it to the gold piece. Cut an oval from the paper collection; I used 6A it is a pinkish color, then attach this to the white die cut. Stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock and using one of the decorative die pieces cut it out and using dimensional tape, add it to the card front. This gives you some dimension and draws attention to the different die cuts.

Stamp the leaves with Fern Green and using daubers color with leaf green ink and then edge in Library green for some more depth of color. Cut out with coordinating die. Lay them onto the 3D mold and spritz with water and run through the die cut machine. Lay them out onto the desk and allow to dry.

Stamp the Flowers with the colors you are going to color them with. Use what color makes you happy. Next cut out the petals with coordinating dies. This time instead of using the molds to shape the petals I used the Golf Tools and a pair of tweezers to shape and curl the flower petals. It was fun to do this for a change. Next, layer the petals and glue together then add Prills to the centers. Cut up one of the sponges and add glue then dust with glitter and allow to dry. Decide on placement of the flowers and leaves and glue them down. The card is finished!
