Layout with Heartfelt Creations

Hi everyone, welcome to my weekly post featuring the gorgeous stamps and dies from Heartfelt Creations.  Today I want to share a layout I made of my little Maria, this is a photo I took of her on her first day of school back in August.  I started with solid color patterned papers and created the background designs with some of the Heartfelt Creations' stamps.

The sentiment is from the "Magnificent Cardinal Rose" set, the black decorative diecut I made with the die from "Decorative Chateau Gate" die set.

I stamped and cut all the flowers, shaped them all with embossing tools, once I adhered everything I added Stickles to the edges of all the petals.

Don't forget to stop by the HC Blog for tons of inspiration, thank you so much for stopping by.
