Heartfelt Creations Card

Hi everyone, welcome to my Wednesday post with Heartfelt Creations.  Today I want to share a card I made using several beautiful images and coordinating dies from Heartfelt Creations.  My inspiration for todays card came from The Color Room, color challenge and card sketch #68.  I used an image from the "Flourish Backgrounds" set to stamp the pink background paper with distress embossing ink and then heat embossed with holographic embossing powder, this flourish images make beautiful background papers.
I used the "Decorative Window Scene" die and cut 2 corners, I carefully trimmed any unwanted sections, don't they make the perfect little swirl.
Here is a closeup of the flowers, I used the "Botanical Floral" and "Posy Patch" flowers to create these little pretties.
I hope you enjoyed my card, don't forget to visit the HFC blog for tons of gorgeous projects.  Thank you for stoping by and until next time.
