Hop, Hop, Hop

Hello Heartfelt Creations Fans,

Today I'm joining my fellow Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design team in the monthly HOP.  We continue to be inspired by the beauty of the flowers, papers and dimensional fabulousness of Heartfelt Creations and hope you are too.

Hop starts 8am EST on Tues. April 28th and closes Fri. May 1st at midnight.

One lucky commenter will win a $25.00 gift certificate to shop at Heartfelt Creations.  We'll announce that winner around noon on Sat. May 2nd.  She/he will have 72 hours to contact Emma Lou to claim the prize.

Now on to my project:

I made a quick and easy birthday card to add to birthday mailing list.  April and May are busy months so I've been prepping and preparing for the rush!

I love this little rose bouquet in the Doorway Trimmings Precut Set.  It's the perfect little addition to a CAS card like this one.  I stamped the flower bouquet using Memento Tuxedo Black, and a strip of white cardstock then colored both with my Copic Markers (R000, RV32, R85; B000; BG01; G12, G24, G82, YG25).  I added the colored strip edge of the inside panel then used my Fiskars Threading Water punch (an oldie but goodie) to give the edge some contrast.  I used some Colorbox Creamy Brown ink to stamp the sentiment (from the Belated Birthday Wishes Precut Set) on the front of the sky blue cardstock.
Adding a little white seam binding and distressing with my dry Versafine Onyx pad helped to make this card complete.  A closer look at the vase shows the glaze and some ultrafine glitter and a little Stickles on the flowers.
Pretty, Pretty!  Here's what the complete card looks like laying flat.  You can see more of the inside edge detail in this photo.
I hope you enjoyed my creation.  Please hop over to the other blogs that are participating in this hop.  I hope you enjoy the projects and are inspired to create your own.  :)  See you next month!
