Happy Wednesday everyone!
It's time for some Heartfelt Creations inspiration! This week I have a little treat holder to show you!
This is a matchbook candy holder that holds a Ghirardelli chocolate inside. Here's the side view for you.
And inside view.
Isn't this cute? I found the tutorial for this on Split Coast Stampers which you can find here in case you would like to try it out.
The images on mine are colored with pencils and mineral spirits on white card stock. (At the bottom of the post you can see the complete instructions for this.)
Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designers this week! There is also a sneak peak of the new collection being released next week, Once Upon a Time!
I'm submitting this to the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday Challenge #122 - Anything Goes.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Blessings!

Wow, this is so beautiful. I love the flower stamp you used and how you colored it. We are so blessed that you joined us at our challenge last week at Word Art Wednesday. I hope you join us again at our new Challenge starting today. Leaving you with inspiration from Galatians 5:1 which says, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." Hugs and blessings...
