Heartfelt Creations - Blessed Christmas & Cream Poinsettia Ornament

Happy Wednesday again!

This is my second post for today, so if you are looking for my CottageCutz "Dear Santa" post please scroll down to the next post!

It's inspiration time from Heartfelt Creations!  Today I have a Christmas card and ornament using the 2 beautiful new Christmas collections!

For my card, I used the Banner & Tree Die for the tree and added cream Christmas Poinsettias that were heat embossed and inked to give an aged look.  The circle sentiment is heat embossed with Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel and also inked.  Behind it is the next size up flower cut in half.  The blue designer paper is from the Christmas Card Paper Collection.  I heat embossed the flower flourish from the Peaceful Night Set on the blue top corner and also 3 times on the bottom cream mat.  If you click on the photo, you can get a better look at the embossing.

Here's a close up of the sentiment.

The ornament is made with Spellbinder's Heirloom Ornament 2010 Die, cut twice with the same blue designer paper.  The flower is made with the remaining flower pieces from the card (plus an extra on the bow).  Underneath the flower I have a heat embossed flower wreath image from the Love at Christmas Set that I fussy cut.

Here is the back of the ornament which I left plain.

Hope this gives you a little inspiration today!  Please visit the HC Blog to see all the beautiful creations this week by the designers!
