Heartfelt Creations - Vintage Floret Collection

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for the release of the new Vintage Floret Collection for October!

The Vintage Floret release is a beautiful collection of ancient luxury. This month’s paper release is similar to the wallpaper of a quaint Parisian cafĂ©. The textured flower stamps add a quiet delicacy to every project. The typography is a delightful combination of botanical growth and grandmother’s old typewriter stored away in the attic.

There are 5 new PreCut Stamp Sets, one 12x12 Paper Collection, and one beautiful new exclusive Spellbinders die designed for Heartfelt Creations. Leave a comment on the HC blog by October 16th and you will be eligible to win the entire release valued at $134.93 .

I love this collection of stamps, dies, and papers!  These are so beautiful and so much fun to work with!  Here's my first card from the collection:





I'm so excited that this was posted on the Heartfelt Creations' Blog this past week for a sneak peak at the new release!  That was my first time!  I just love this flower pot image, it is so pretty and fun to color!  The colors I used were done using the colors of the image on the matching designer papers.  The papers are absolutely stunning!  I didn't use any of the designer papers on this card as I loved it with just the pink and brown around it to highlight the image, but I'm having lots of fun using the papers on some other projects I'm working on!

Make sure to visit the HC Blog to check out all of the stunning samples from the design team and to leave a comment for a chance to win the entire collection!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #57 - Pretty in Pink & Ribbon.
Split Coast Stampers' WT395 - Odds Challenge for the 3 popped flowers and TLC398 for adding dimension.

Blessings!

Kathy
