Heartfelt Creations - Purple Dahlia Cluster

Happy Wednesday!

It's time again for some Heartfelt Creations inspiration!

This week I have another dahlia card using the Dahlia Cluster Set.  I stamped the image on white cardstock and colored it with pencils matching the beautiful Burst of Splendor Paper Collection in the background.  These double-sided papers are so gorgeous!  For this background, I cut the paper and then cut the lower 1" and reversed it...so pretty together with the green between it!





Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see what the designer have for you this week!  As usual, they are gorgeous!!!

Blessings!

Kathy

  3. I saw this on the HFC site, and wanted to compliment you on it. It is beautiful and yet such a simple design - quick easy to make and not over the top. (Though I know the design process can be slow and it was probably not that quick for you.) But it will definitely be one that I CASE. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
