Happy Wednesday!
It's time for a little inspiration with Heartfelt Creations! This week I have a sympathy card made with The Blazing Poppy Collection.
I made these poppy flowers a few weeks ago, but couldn't decide what I wanted to do with them. I found this designer paper from the collection that went nicely with them and then just added a few embellishments to pull it all together!
Here's a closeup of the flowers. I used the coloring and shaping technique that I did on my tutorial you can see here on my blog or here on the Heartfelt Creations' Blog.
Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see what the designers have come up with this week! Lots of beautiful creations there!
I'm submitting this to the following challenge:
Word Art Wednesday Challenge #195 - Anything Goes/Family Friendly
Thanks so much for stopping by to visit!
Blessings!
