Hearfelt Creations

Hi Crafty folks.

I am typing this as once again I can hear drip drip drip on the grey soaking wet path just outside my window, the guttering's slightly over flowing each minute or so causing the loudest splash onto the plastic recycling bins lined up outside houses along the street. This morning it was frosty and the windows of my car were covered in an icy residue that had to be scraped off like dancing on ice skates as they come to an abrupt stop on the frozen rink. ( should of been a writer , what do you think) haha
( And you thought Dyllusions was a ink spray by Ranger or is that delusion's in my case ... )

Today is A Heartfelt Creations  card post for you and It took an absolute age making the flowers for this one, I tend to make a bunch of them and the leaves at a time because they take so long, In fact putting the card together is much quicker then making the foliage, but anyway here it is.

I have no idea why the leaves look a little yellow on the end as they are green with the tips in the same colour as the flowers so it is odd how the colour looks so different. But anyway, the background has Iced snow around the edges and I died the seam binding cranberry to match the Adirondack Ink I used on the flowers. I have also used several elements from the new February launch of  The Raindrops on Roses collection. The die for the leaves was from The Classic leaves collection and the flowers were made using January's Majestic Morning Collection.

 Here is a close up of the layering and the flowers and buds I made and the leaves are much better in this one, you can also see all that gorgeous sparkle in the background which I love.

 Here too.

 I decided to keep the bow quite small for this one an add a little burlap thread and one of the Creative Expressions flat backed vintage button too.Nestling behind you will see one of the incredible dies cut in half and a small pearl to match added.

 This one shows the buds and leaves a little better and of course the papers.

 I really enjoy making these romantic feeling cards and the flowers always look so real and amazing when you shape them as I did using water and inks and shaping them with an embossing tool and foam mat to form them just as Emma Lou Beechy the creative director for Heartfelt Creations does in her You tube videos you can find either on their blog or on their You Tube channels this one shows you hoe tiny make a two layered bud with Vellum and I love it.

I hope you enjoy today's post and are having a great week so far, I can't believe we are at Wednesday already, time flies so quickly these days.

Lots of love

Kim
