Elegant Fuchsia Oval - Heartfelt Creations


Happy Wednesday!

Today I have a cream on cream card to share with you using the Cascading Fuchsia Collection of stamps and dies.




I love the look of the Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel on Natural White card stock when coloring with chalk inks. Such a soft and elegant look to it. Here's a little close-up of the fuchsias.




I used all Natural White card stock for everything except the pink/lavender mat in the background which is from the designer papers in the Cascading Fuchsia Collection.

To make the  fuchsia flowers, I used Emma Lou's video tutorial that you can see here.

Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see all the beauties by the designers this week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #185 - Anything Goes
Addicted To Stamps and More #146 - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Blessings!

  11. Hi Kathy! I am in awe of this gorgeous card. I'm so glad you took a close up of the flowers - they are stunning, and I need to go check out the tutorial as well. I could NEVER do anything this amazing, and you never cease to amaze and impress me. When I say "I'm in awe"....I truly mean it! I also LOVE the incredible bow you made with all the loops of baker's twine (at least that's what I think it is). It's absolutely stunning. You obviously put A LOT into this card, and it shows. Truly beautiful! I can never thank you enough for sharing your amazing art with us, and I want you to know how VERY much I appreciate it. Have a blessed week!

  14. Oh my, this is gorgeous...I love the cream on cream with the intricate die-cuts and lush flowers. Gorgeous creation. Thanks a lot of blessing us with your entry this week at Word Art Wednesday. Make sure to stop by and join us again in another Challenges starting tomorrow. Leaving you with God's Word in Colossians 3:23-24 which says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." Have a blessed day!
