HEARTFELT CREATIONS - JULY 4, 2012

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!  It is so dry in our area that we are under a burn ban until July 10th so there will not be any area firework displays, but we still are going to enjoy the day with a cookout.  I hope you are having a good day with family and friends celebrating the holiday.

It's also Heartfelt Creations' Wednesday and I would like to share two more cards I have made with the sweet Garden Romance Collection.  This collection can be used in so many ways, it definately is a must have set.  In my Blue Birdhouse Card I used the HCD 723 - Garden Romance Die to die cut the birdhouse to create a 3D effect in the scene and I also die cut the butterflies and bent their wings slightly up before adhereding them with a glue dot in the center .  In my Mailbox Card I paper pieced the mailbox and shaded it with Copics to add dimension and then I also die cut it with the HCD 723 - Garden Romance Die and adhered it with pop dots.  These added touches really make the cards special for the receiver.
