Elegantly Autumn...

Good morning my friends.   I'm here this morning to share another Hearthfelt Creations card with you!  This card features the Seasonal Wreath Collection and you can find it here in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery.

I used the Deluxe Flower Shaping paper for the card base as it is the perfect weight for this.  I used one of the card fronts on Sheet 2A of the paper collection and glued it down to the card front.  I used Luxe Gold Cardstock to die cut the Elegant Heart Centerpiece die and then used a piece of Sheet 9B of the paper collection to die cut the center piece for the centerpiece.  Glue this behind the Elegant Heart centerpiece and then I used dimensional tape to adhere to the card front.

Die cut two of the wreaths using kraft cardstock and glue them togethder to make a thick and stable piece to mount everything else onto.  Set this aside while we work on all the elements for this card.

Stamp all the elements using Rich Cocoa ink onto a piece of white cardstock.  I used various inks to color using the daubers and the Dove Blender pen. Most of the leaves were colored with Leaf Green and accented using Fern Green or Olive. Some of the leaves were colored with Dandelion and Leaf Green with accents of Cantaloupe and Rhubarb Stalk.  The little Owls are colored with the Dove Blender Pen and Toffee Crunch, Dessert Sand and London Fog inks. I used Tangelo to color the pumpkins, Lulu Lavender and Sweet Plum for the grapes and Dessert Sand and Toffee Crunch to color the acorns.  The apples are colored with Cantaloupe, Leaf Green and accented with Rhubarb Stalk.  The sunflower and wheat fronds are colored with Dandelion.  I used Express-O Yourself Prills. You can color all these elements to your own taste with whatever inks or markers that you have. Just make them yours! Use the Flower Shaping Kit to shape the elements so they have dimension and don't lay flat

Once you have all your elements prepared to your liking decide on placement on the wreath and glue down.  I loaded mine up!  I used dimensional tape to adhere to the Elegant Heart Centerpiece and your card is ready to go!

Oh, my goodness gracious, my heart just melts at the beauty and those darling owls. Looks like a family with dad up top and mom and babies nestled down below. So many wonderful parts making up the whole. Beautiful colors. I love it!
