Blessings...

Hello Stamping Friends,

I'm happy to join the Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design Team in sharing our creations this month. I created a shadowbox that will be mailed to someone special.  I don't usually care for the color purple but for some reason I really gravitate to the plum hues in the spectrum.  To me, they are warm, romantic and truly heartfelt.  So whenever you see a purple card created by me, it will most likely contain this color combination.

The hop begins today at 8:00 EST and will end on Saturday, Feb. 28.  I will return after that to announce the winner.

As you journey on the hop, please take a moment to comment on each of our posts.  We appreciate your visit so much and love to read what you have to say about our projects.

**One lucky commenter will receive a $25.00 Gift Certificate to the Heartfelt Creations store.  You will have only 72 hours from the time your name is announced to claim your prize.

Now on to my project!

I selected the Twining Clematis Cling Set, the Malabar Clematis Cling Set and Uplifting Scriptures Cling Set for my project this month.
To create additional dimension on the piece, I stamped various flowers onto white cardstock then colored them with Copic markers.  Then I used my Paper Blossoms Tool Kit to gently dimensionalize the flowers.  I added Diamond Stickles and Crystal Lacquer on the flowers. When that dried, I added dots of yellow and green acrylic paint to the centers of the flowers.
Placing the stamped panel into the shadowbox was the final step.  The stamped panel measured 5 1/2 x 5 1/2- a perfect fit for the inside of the shadow box.  I chose not to paint or add color to the box as I thought the woodgrain really accentuated the flowers.  
The color was inspired by the Clematis plant that grew in my father's garden this year.  Here's a photo so you can see how beautiful his baby was:
I hope you enjoyed my project this month.  Please head over to Glenda's blog next.  If you're lost, you can follow the list of blog hop participants below:

    The shadow box is beautiful. An added benefit is that you can change out the centerpiece when you get tired of it or there is a chance of season. The flowers are so pretty. Love the big purple bow.
    thanks for sharing a great idea.

    This is such a lovely card. 'Don't know what kid of flowers they are, but they are beautiful. Your coloring makes them stand out so well. The way you displayed it in the shadow box is the way to go. Thanks

      Hello Ajax, these flowers are Clematis flowers. They are often found climbing homes, mailboxes and garden arches. They open beautifully during the day and close up during the evening. This color is one of my favorite colors- and is the color of the Clematis flowers my father grows. So pretty!
