Instructions
Prep the surface and sides of an 8x10 inch canvas with white gesso.  Using texture paste, use the following stencils - Dots, Mini Moving Vines, Mini Organic Matter.   Allow to air dry or use heat tool to speed up the process.

While the texture paste is drying, Stamp the roses using Dusty Concord and the Mini Floret petals with Fossilized Amber Distress Ink.  The sentiment was stamped with embossing ink and fine detail black embossing powder.  The sentiment was heat set.    The lavender flowers were sponged with Dusty Concord Distress Ink and the yellow flowers were sponged using Squeezed Lemonade and Fossilized Amber Distress Ink.     Emma Lou has a great video on shaping and assembling  roses HERE. 

Color was applied to the canvas using 3D Stamp Paint.   I used Magenta Metallic, Moss Green Metallic and Gold.   I placed a small amount on my work mat and  worked some spritzed water into the mixture.   I applied the color as shown in the picture.   I like to use foam brushes for this part.   Don't forget to get good coverage on the sides.    Allow to dry.  The sentiment was adhered and the back and edges sealed with clear gesso.

All chipboard was covered with white gesso.   More 3-D Stamp Ink was applied after the gesso dried.
The chipboard was adhered with Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.   Prills from the Bright Ideas 12 pack were applied to the canvas as shown.  I used You Had Me At Yellow,  Third Place and I Cannot Tell a Lilac.

The canvas was embellished with the roses,  pearls, twine and a decorative brad.

120 lb. white card-stock, green card-stock, yellow card-stock, paper trimmer,

Wink of Stella - Clear, 
Copic Alcohol Ink Markers:  

Y000, Y00, Y02, YR 24, G40, G43, YG63, G28


Create a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch top fold card base.   Cut the base layer from  green card-stock at 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches.  Cut yellow card-stock at 5 x 5 inches.   Select the designer paper from the Blushing Rose paper Collection as shown in the picture.    Adhere the layers as shown.   I repeated the process for the inside of the card.  This is an optional step.  

The Blushing Rose Swirl was stamped on X-Press It.  You can use any Copic compatible paper if you are using alcohol ink markers or paper for Colored Pencils if that is your ink of choice.   The image was colored with the following Copic Markers - Y000, Y00, Y02, YR 24, G40, G43, YG63, G28

The image was die cut with the Blushing Rose Swirls Die.   I also cut the image twice using green card-stock.  The solid green image was adhered to the card.  The second green image was adhered to the  back of the colored Rose Swirl .   This adds extra strength for the "double-cut" technique.   The image was posed up with dimensional foam dots.   The dark green under the image not only adds dimension but it adds a shadow.

For embellishment, Wink of Stella was applied to the green leaves and rim of the roses.   The "Get Well Wishes" sentiment was cut from the Blushing Rose Paper Collection.  



Thank you for stopping by!  
I hope you are enjoying the new collection by 
It's fun and so easy to use!

Heartfelt Creations Blushing Rose New Release



It's Heartfelt Creations New Release Day!
Today, I get to showcase the Blushing Rose Collection!    
   I love this collection!    
I love that with our collection last month and this month, 
one can create so many different types of flowers with them!   You can layer them up for super big dimensional roses or you can make them single layer and they can resemble so many other types of  flowers!  It's all in how you shape them! 
The possibilities are endless!   

I have to share my news with you.    

I just retired after working as a Registered Nurse for 46 years!  
I am still in shock and trying to get accustomed to the flow of my days!   
I also want to share that I got a beautiful retirement bouquet from my co-workers.   
Isn't it gorgeous?    



And now -  for our new release!
I created this mixed media card just for this occasion!

Heavy white card-stock was cut at  5 1/2 x 11 inches.  The paper was scored and folded at 5 1/2 inches to create a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch top-fold card.      Teal card-stock was cut at 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches.  A light colored designer paper was cut at 5 x 5 inches.  

3 D Lime Green Stamp Paste was applied with a sponge brush to the designer paper  in order to create a background for the dimensional flowers.   I didn't stir it much and was able to create a teal color that matched my teal layer paper.    Glass bead gel was drizzled on top of the background.  Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter was lightly sprinkled on top of the Glass Bead Gel and allowed to dry.

The flower swirl stamp from  the Blushing Rose Swirls Cling Stamp Set was stamped twice on light weight white card-stock.   The image was colored with the following colored pencils -  Red Poppy, Crimson Lake, Dark Green, Green Grass, Lime Peel, Canary yellow, White,  The flowers were cut with Blushing Rose Swirls Die.  

The flowers were shaped using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.   Emma Lou has provided a wonderful video on flower shaping HERE

Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose Collection - Mixed Media Lavender Rose Card








Hello, my friends and Welcome!  
 
I would love to share another Heartfelt Creations card I created using the Classic Rose Collection.   
I used some of the gorgeous designer paper to make some quilling strips and accented with prills. 

   


HCPC - 270  Classic Rose Designer Paper Collection
HCPC  3752  Classic Rose Cling Stamp Set
HCD1 - 7110  Classic Rose Die
HCPC  3735   Classic Rose Vines Cling Stamp Set
ANC 822   I Cannot Tell a Lilac Prills
HCST1 - 401  Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit
159723  Designer Dries Clear Adhesive
352854  Meal Tip for Adhesive
173842  Scor-Pal Measuring and Scoring Board
SMPOO1  Stamping Mat Pad
TSMP - 900  Tuxedo Black Dye Ink Pad
TSMP - 504  LuLu Lavender Memento  Dye Ink Pad


Heavy weight white card stock, light weight white card stock, X-Press It  card stock,  dark purple card-stock, green card stock, sponge dauber, quilling tool (or a pencil), oval die 2 sizes, paper trimmer and Copic Alcohol Ink : BVOOOO, BV00, BV04, BV08, G12, YG61, YG63. 




Create a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch white card base.  Cut card purple card-stock base layer at 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches and reserve the rest for the focal image mat.    Select the lavender designer paper from the Classic Rose Collection.   Size the designer paper at 5 x 5 inches.   

Stamp Classic Rose Vines Cling Stamp Set on Copic Compatible paper.  I used X-Press It Blending Card Stock.  Color the image with the ink of your choice.   I used Copic Alcohol Ink Combo's BVOOOO, BV00, BV04, BV08, G12, YG61, YG63.  A marbleized background was created with BV0000, BV00, G12 and 70% alcohol in a water brush.   White highlights were added using opaque white ink.   The image was cut using an oval die.   A purple mat was cut using a slightly larger die.  The focal image and mat layer were adhered together.    

Strips from the reserved designer paper were cut in strips.   Loose scrolls were formed using a quilling tool but you can roll it around a small cylindrical tool.  

The Classic Rose Cling Stamp was stamped on lightweight white card stock using Memento Lu Lu Lavender Dye Ink Pad.   For me, 65#  paper works well for flower petals.  It is pliable and easy to shape.   The  petals were die cut using the   Classic Rose Die.  The petals were sponged using  Lu Lu Lavender Memento Dye Ink.   I like to leave some white showing for highlights.    The petals were lightly misted with water on the underside and shaped using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.   
Emma Lou has a wonderful video that shows how to shape dimensional roses.  It can be viewed HERE.

Stamp and die cut the rose leaves and vine from green card stock.   Shape the leaves using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.   

Adhere the layers as shown in the picture.    Adhere the vine with leaves, matted focal image and quilled loose scrolls.  Apply Designer Dries Clear Adhesive to the inside of the scrolls and sprinkle  the Prills - I Cannot Tell a Lilac Prills.   Check out the close-up photo.  Aren't the prills gorgeous?   Allow the adhesive to dry and then apply the roses for your final embellishment.
