Heartfelt Creations' Inspiration

Happy Wednesday!

I have two cards to show you today!  The first is done with the new Delicate Asters Collection.

Congratulations

This beautiful image is from the Delicate Asters & Butterflies Set that I colored with pencils and added a flower on top to give it dimension.    I thought this was pretty with the Romantic Rectangles behind it.  (You can click on the picture for a better view and the complete card recipe and instructions are at the bottom of the post.)

Holiday Season

The second card I have for you is done with the Ornamental Light Collection.  The main image is one of the journal blocks that I cut from the Frosty Blanket Paper Collection.  These are fun and easy to make cards with!  I loved the mauves and grays on this block image and designed the card to compliment it.

Be sure to check out all the designers creations this week on the HC Blog, they're amazing to look at! 

I'm also submitting this to the latest Word Art Wednesday Challenge #46.

Have a wonderful week!

Blessings!
