Coral Aster With Love - Heartfelt Creations

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a little inspiration with Heartfelt Creations!  This week I used an oldie, but goodie set for you from the Delicate Asters Collection!

The flower and leaves are from the Bold Delicate Asters Set. I stamped them with ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder...no coloring! You can also "stamp off" the color first on scrap paper to get a lighter color which looks really pretty and do a combination of both.

The lattice piece behind the oval frame is from the Raindrops on Roses Die. The tag is from the new Birds and Blooms Paper Collection cut out with the Luggage and Tag Die.

Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see the beautiful creations by the designers this week! There is also another sneak peek of the Butterfly Melody Collection being released next week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #169 - Anything Goes
All Sorts Challenge #296 - Flower Power
Craft Hoarders Anonymous January Challenge - Choose Your Challenge (Ink, Twine, Stamping/Die-cutting, Dry embossing, Pearl/bead finding)

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Blessings!
