Heartfelt Creations Wednesday

Hi Everyone

I hope everyone is having a good week, I am having a very busy one and only have enough time left to blog this and tomorrows posts a head of time before a couple of hours sleep then I am off to visit Creative Expressions. I am looking forward to seeing my friend Tracey and helping her prepare for workshops at Kettering.
Today's card is from this months launch called The once upon a time collection and I love it, it is very me with all the clocks and flowers and the colours are divine.
Take a look at my card.

What do you think
I stamped my image and coloured it in with Adirondack inks and distress inks of course haha. I covered the image with a double sided sheet and micro beaded it then wrapped some of my dusky pink ribbon with a fine gold edge to it around the card which I added onto a piece of the gorgeous paper with the clock image already on, I mounted that onto some plum card and then cream card which I pierced and added onto foam and onto another piece of cream.
I looked in my stash for clock hands and a metal sparkly frame I could put my sentiment in and I was lucky.
I added a bow on top of the ribbon and a hand made flower using the Majestic blooms collection die and stamps too, I also made up 4 of the tiny flower and placed them on top of the image I stamped as that already had flowers on the image so I built them up and used a few leaves from the classic leaves collection too which I snipped apart to use a little here and there. Lastly as always a little bling in the corners and the flower centres and hey presto.
I have a much more detailed description over at Heartfelt Creations today if you would like to come see please do.
Here is some more pictures for you.

 You can just about see the Iridescence of the micro beads on the image sparkling a little here.

 Another of my flower, bow, twirl combos , I do love making things look pretty like this.

 A little closer on the edges and the image, isn't it a stunner.

Ahh, now you can see the little beads sparkling.

 A full view as it lays on my desk, I still love plum just as much.

 This shows that the flowers are raised and I have added bling to the centres of all the flowers raised or flat  for a change.

Last one. Keeping your pierced edge straight and your matting crisp and straight gives a professional finish to the plainest of cards and makes all the difference when people look at it up close.

I am sorry it has been a little manic these last couple of weeks with winding up things for the Operation Monday and trying to keep to schedule for the companies I design for it certainly has been a bit manic but I will be home the day after my op ( I hope) and with be recuperating and we can all catch up every day and I am looking forward to creating lots of goodies too.

Hugs

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
