Teal Feathered Daisy - Heartfelt Creations


Happy Wednesday!

I'm back again with another card using the new Peacock Paisley Collection from Heartfelt Creations! This time I used the Feathered Daisy image and added an extra flower over the flower on the image  with the Delightful Daisies Set.



The image and flower are colored with pencils and mineral spirits. I really had fun playing with the greens and blues on this...I just love to color! After I die cut and shaped the flower, I sponged a little Baja Blue Chalk Ink on the back to blend it with the image better.

The Aquarium card stock is die cut with the Timeless Rectangles Die which I thought was pretty with the image and colors. The teal button is repurposed from my stash of extra buttons I get with new clothes...I have been saving all of them for years and finally started using them last year. One of these days I'll be needing an extra button missing from my clothes and realize it has been already repurposed!

Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see what the designers have created for you this week! What a talented bunch of ladies they are! Also, Emma Lou has a new technique video for you showing you her tips when working with vellum!

I'm submitting this to the following challenge:

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #176 - Anything Goes
Really Reasonable Ribbon #114 - Bright Spring Colors and Ribbon/Trim

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Blessings!

  11. Very pretty, Kathy

    I had a blast today...when to a stamp show in our area. Had the wonderful privilege of seeing so many of the amazing Heartfelt designs in real life again. I was looking at the display boards and I think I recognized some of your cards? I always look for your pretty signature bows.
