Heartfelt Creations - Wishing You a Quick Recovery

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a little inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!  This week begins my second 6 month term with HC as a Designer, and I am SO over the moon to still be with them!  Thank you so much for all who voted for me!  For this week I have a center step card using the Delicate Asters Collection.

 

 

 

I used some brighter colors on this one matching the designer papers from the collection.  The flower on the image is stamped and colored and the flower on the bow is die cut from the designer paper, I think it's really neat that it fits!  I colored my flower a little opposite, but that's ok I think!  I love this butterfly to that I colored to match...can you tell I love to color?  I don't know what I would do without my pencils and mineral spirits!!!  The leaf swirls stamped on the green designer paper are from the Vintage Floret Bouquet Set.  I kind of have a lot of swirls going on here!  You can click on the picture to see a better view and the complete materials and instructions are at the end of the post.

Please visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the gorgeous creations by the designers including the new design team!

I'm submitting this to the latest challenge at Word Art Wednesday #53 to use encouraging/uplifting sentiments on you creations.

Thank you for stopping by! 

Blessings!
