I am a semi-finalist for the new Heartfelt Creations design team. I am so excited, I love their papers, stamps and matching dies. It is so easy to create amazing projects with them.
Today I want to share the beginnings of my next project. This is another 6 x 6 inch mini-album which I am going to donate to Basset Hound Rescue of Michigan for their auction in May. I am using papers from my Heartfelt Creations All Geared Up 12 x 12 paper pack. I created these gorgeous flowers using my Heartfelt Delightful Daisies stamps. I stamped them with Memento Rich Cocoa onto text weight Cryogen metallic paper. Then cut them out with my matching Delightful Daisies dies. Using Distress Ink, I colored the center of the flowers with Gathered Twigs and the petals with Peacock Feathers. I shaped the petals with a stylus tool and then glued them together turning them so the petals alternated. Flower Soft in the centers finished them off. For the leaves I used Pine Needles, Gathered Twigs and Mustard Seed and a bit of shaping with the stylus tool as well.
I stamped this wonderful basset hound image called Watch Hounds from Stampa Rosa with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Cryogen metallic card stock. I stamped it a second time so I could 3D the center basset. I colored the image with my Copic markers and mounted it onto a panel from my All Geared Up paper pad. I added a little bone embellishment below the center basset hound.
You can see that I have lots of pages to embellish and insert tags to make as well as journaling panels. I am sure it is going to be hard to part with this when I am done. Thank you as always for supporting my blog and I hope I have inspired you to create something beautiful.
