Peacock Paisley Release - Heartfelt Creations

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for the release of the Peacock Paisley Collection!

Brighten your world with the sparkling colors and mesmerizing motifs of Peacock Paisley, the exquisite spring release from Heartfelt Creations. This lush collection sparkles with jewel tones of topaz, sapphire, amber, emerald and turquoise. The artistic flair of exotic peacocks, intricate paisleys, frilled feathers and delightful daisies will captivate your imagination and energize your creativity. Six sumptuous sets of intricately designed, deeply etched red rubber stamps are the perfect companions to a vibrant paper collection that is overflowing with card fronts, cut apart pages, vivid artwork, pre-designed layouts and beautifully layered backgrounds. The Delightful Daisy Die cuts 7 perfect floral layers with one pass through your cutting system. Whether you want to preserve life's most beautiful moments, create with mixed media techniques or design keepsake cards, you'll be proud as a peacock to present the sophisticated elegance of Peacock Paisley.

For my project I used the beautiful Daisy Flourish Set.

I colored the image with a combination of Prismacolor and Polychromo Pencils using mineral spirits, then matted it with yellow-orange and dark blue card stock. I stamped a sentiment directly on the card base using the Classic Message Set and added a fiber bow and some pearls. Kind of a clean and simple design.

The HC Blog is bursting with creativity today! Be sure to check out all the gorgeous creations from the designers this week! Emma Lou also has a new technique video showing you how she made her card using an emboss resist technique.

Life is Beautiful - Heartfelt Creations

Hi there!

Normally I post on Wednesday for Heartfelt Creations, but this week we're a day early!

For my project this week, I used the Botanical Rose Bouquet Set for the main image that I colored with pencils and mineral spirits. I love this lavender and aqua color combination! I colored it to match the "frame" made with the Butterfly Medley Designer Papers.

The butterflies are from the Butterfly Medley Set that I colored using the same color combination as the main image. I love how this set has one image with 7 different butterflies on it and a matching die that cuts them all at once! Just brilliant!

The sentiment ticket is from the designer paper that I cut with the Luggage & Tag Die. I was also lucky enough to find just the right color seam binding and button to match in my stash of goodies to finish this. (That shouldn't be surprising as I have a LOT of goodies in my stash to choose from!)

Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designers this week! Emma Lou also has a GORGEOUS sneak peek of the Peacock Paisley Collection being released next week!
