Heartfelt Creations - Sunny Day Collection

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for the new release for February!!!

The Sunny Day Collection captures the tranquility of a sunny day in the garden. Setting the tone with serene garden views and peaceful plant and butterfly harmonies is the Sunny Day Paper Collection. Stamps include bustling bees, a vintage watering can and botanical butterfly medleys. The Decorative Butterfly Corner Die in this collection will add unique versatility to any project. Leave a comment on the HC blog by February 19th and you will be eligible to win the entire release.

My first project with this new collection is an accordion card.  This is the front, using this gorgeous butterfly and flower image from the Butterfly Melody Stamp Set.

This is the inside when fully open.

Here are close-ups of the inside.

This is my first time making an accordion card, and I'm really happy with how this one turned out.

I'm submitting this to the Word Art Wednesday Challenge #67 - Anything Goes.
