Majestic Birthday

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a little Heartfelt Creations inspiration!  For my birthday card today I'm using the Majestic Morning Blooms and Vintage Morning Background Sets.

This week I decided to use golden yellows and black which I think is a striking combination.  The image is colored with pencils and mineral spirits and fussy cut.  I added a 2 flowers to the image and another to the bow center.  The card mat, small green mat, and the birthday tag are all pieces cut from the designer paper.  The possibilities are endless with the beautiful papers!

Behind the green mat are 2 Decorative Chateau Gate Die cuts in black.  This is an older die that I still absolutely love!  It's striking against the yellow/orange background!

Be sure to visit the HC Blog today to see all the gorgeous creations by the designers!  What a talented group of ladies!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #116 - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by today!

Blessings!
