Relax with Heartfelt Creations

Hi Heartfelt Creations fans, hope everyone is having a great week so far.  Today I want to share a card I made a while back for a class.  I stamped the "Birch Tree" image with black ink on cream cardstock and colored with distress inks.  I distressed the edges with walnut stain distress ink to add some more color contrast to the image.  The sentiment is from the "Western Sentiments" set and I stamped with black ink.  I stamped a couple of grass images on cream cardstock, cut with the coordinating dies and shaded with distress ink.  The leaves I made with the die from "Western Broncos" die, shaded the edges with distress ink and shaped with embossing tools.

The hat and boots I stamped with black ink on kraft cardstock, cut with the coordinating dies, shaded with distress ink, shaped slightly and adhered with pop dots for dimension.

Thank you so much for stopping by and don't forget to stop by the HC Blog for lots more inspiration.

Heartfelt Creations Wednesday

Hi everyone, welcome to our Wednesday inspiration post with Heartfelt Creations.  My card today features some of the new stamps and coordinating dies from the "Old English Garden" collection.  I absolutely love the beautiful vintage images and gorgeous flowers on this collection.  For this card I went with the soft colors and vintage feel.

I stamped the teacup on Gina K cardstock and colored with Spectrum Noir markers.

The flowers I stamped on patterned paper, the leaves I stamped on soft green paper and cut everything with the coordinating dies.  I used embossing tools to shape the flower and leaves giving them some dimension.

Here is another closeup of one of the flowers, I placed adhesive pearls and pearl swirls as a final touch.

And here is the inspiration for the layout of my card, another fantastic sketch from Card Patterns.

Thank you so much for visiting today, hope you have a fantastic day.

PPRS and Card Patterns Sketch Challenge

Hi everyone, this week Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps is sponsoring the sketch challenge over at Card Patterns and I got to play along.  Here is my take.

I stamped the beautiful "Tulip Fairy" on white cardstock and colored with Prismacolor pencils, I also added some glitter to her dress.

Here is a closeup of the flowers, the sentiment is from the "Spring Scalloped Circles" clear stamp set.

I also stamped a couple of butterflies from the "Mini Butterflies" clear stamp set, I stamped them using the glue pad and covered with this beautiful blue glitter by Art Glitter.

Here is another closeup of the flowers and leaves I made with punches.

And here is the fun sketch from Card Patterns.

Winners will be chosen and announced Monday May 23rd.

Now for my project, I used a couple of our new images, the vintage "Pictorial Review" image and the "Wildflower ATC" image.  I used sketch #191 from Mojo Monday for my layout inspiration.

I inked the edges of the papers with walnut stain distress ink, the vintage image  and the floral background I stamped with chocolate chip ink from Stampin' Up, matted every layer with dark brown cardstock and added some stickles to the edge of every layer.

I used the "Scalloped Circle" twice, one in dark brown and one in pink, stamped the circle image and sentiment from the "Circles" clear stamp set.  The little rose looking flowers I created with the "Blobby Flowers" stamps and coordinating dies and added some stickles to the edges.
