HEARTFELT CREATIONS - APRIL 25, 2012

Good morning!  It's Wednesday again and that means I get to share some more cards I created for Heartfelt Creations.  I also have some great news to share with you this morning.  I will be continuing for another six months on the HC Design Team.  I want to thank everyone who voted for me.   I also want to thank Linda and Emma Lou from HC for giving me the opportunity to design for them for another six month term.  HC is a wonderful company to work for and I can't say enough about the kindness and generosity shown to each of us on the Design Team. You can check out the HC Blog to see the ten members continuing on the Design Team and to meet the ten new members of the Design Team.

For my first card this week I used the Heartfelt Creations Bella Rose Vintage Background stamp and I colored it with Copics and added some extra bling with adhesive faux pearls and rhinestones.

BEAUTIFUL ROSE CARD

For my next card I used the Heartfelt Creations Cross & Lilies Die to make the Clematis 3D.  I also made the doors open on the Palace Entry to reveal a picture of a church inside the card.  This week I am entering this card in Joan's Gardens Weekly Challenge #15. The Challenge is to make a card or project which includes flowers using dies or punches.
