Happy Wednesday!
It's time for the release of the new Classic Sunflower Collection from Heartfelt Creations! I absolutely LOVE this collection!!! What a beautiful combination of fall images, flowers and designer papers! The colors on the papers are stunning! You can read more about the new collection here on the Heartfelt Creations website.
Here is my first creation with this gorgeous collection!
For my card, I used the Sunflower Patch image and added an extra flower using the Classic Sunflower Set and matching die. The images were colored with pencils and mineral spirits and the main image was die cut with Labels 22. The blue die cut mat behind the image is designer paper from the collection.
Here's a close up of the image for you.
I'm submitting this to the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday #149 - Anything Goes
Really Reasonable Ribbon #102 - Autumn Colors & Ribbon or Trim
Thanks for stopping by to visit!
Blessings!

This is just beautiful. You coloring is stunning, as usual.
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness Kathy, this card is so lovely. I love how you colored the image and how you added in the blue designer paper for contrast. Amazing Job!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Kathy! I love seeing your sweet Heartfelt Creations projects, and I'm grateful to have you share them in our challenges. God has given you such talent, and a gift of encouragement. Thanks for your prayers for Audra. She's undergoing very aggressive chemo right now, and we are trusting God as He works in her life. Life has been SO busy, but I must say that I really enjoyed making my card for today's challenge at WAW. Creating with scripture is always a blessing. Hope you have a blessed week, my friend.
