Cascading Floral Basket ... Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations

Good morning my friends and welcome!  I'm here this morning to share another card using the Floral Basket Collection from Heartfelt Creations.   It has been cold and snowy here in East Tennessee so this basket just says "Spring" to me.  Most of us have been experiencing terrible weather so I hope you enjoy my card!  You can find it in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery with all supplies used.


My finished card is 5" X 7".  Make card base and cover with a piece of Sheet 6A from the paper collection.

Using HCD2-7384 Fancy Classic Rectangle Frame Die, cut pieces using Deluxe Flower Shaping paper and Luxe Gold cardstock.  Glue white shadow die cut onto card front and glue the gold die cut onto that.  Cut a plain piece of white like the gold piece and use the center portion to layer ontop of the gold die cut.  I used Double Dots to pop it up to give dimension.  Using the smaller oval die from the Royal Elegance Frames,  cut two pieces;  one in gold and one in white.  Use the plain oval die that fits inside this more decorative die and cut a piece of sheet 6A and glue to the center of the oval.  Layer the gold piece behind the white piece shifting slightly so the gold shows through behind.  I used dimensional tape behind this piece to add dimension and give it the appearance of a medallion.  

Stamp the basket onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper using Memento Toffee Crunch ink.  Cut out with coordinating die and color using Stack and Store Daubers and Toffee Crunch ink.  Glue the handle onto the basket and glue the basket down onto the medallion piece on the card front. 

Stamp leaves using Leaf Green ink and color using same Leaf Green ink.  Cut out with coordinating die and edge the leaves with Olive ink to give them more dimension.  Lay leaves onto the mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine.  Lay aside to dry.

Stamp the flowers onto Deluxe Flower Shaping paper using Buttercup for the yellow flowers, Magenta Hue for the pink flowers, Cactus Flower and Majestic Violet for the purple flowers. Color with same colors and cut out with coordinating dies.  Place on coordinating mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine.  Turn out onto the desk to dry. Once dry add Prills to the centers of the petals and allow to dry. 

Once everything is dry, decide on placement and glue down onto card front.

This is so pretty. I love working with heartfelt dies. I can't wait for spring to arrive. After the cold spell just before christmas we now have gales and rain bu nothing like America has been experiencing. Wishing you a Healthy and Crafty New Year. Hugs Mrs A.

I'm happy to see a card like this after so much Christmas and winter. These dies are so beautiful and I love how you've layered gold on white and then white again. The basket is darling with your arrangement of flowers and leaves pulled from different sets. You're so creative, Glenda!
