Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design Team July Blog Hop

If you came to my blog from the very talented  Vicki Dutcher's blog, then you're on the right track...Welcome to another month of Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design Team Blog Hops!! I love to pull put the beautiful stamps and dies that I received when I was on the Heartfelt Creations Design Team. I started my background with adhering  piece  of Kraft paper to  piece of 12x12 corrugated cardboard using ModPodge. I used  mask and molding paste to get the chevron design for the background. While it was still wet, I spayed it with Lindys Stamp Gang Starburst spray in Azure Sea Asters. For this layout, I used Lindy's July color palette and their Limited  Edition spray set. I then used the Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3367 Vintage Life Background PreCut Set stamp and randomly stamped the background.

 Update!! 8/2/14  Congratulations to Anita Braddock. You won the hop!! Email Emma Lou to claim your prize!!!

For the frame I used 2 different Sizzix die cuts and stacked them to create a  2 dimensional frame. I used Lindy's Scotch Broom Yellow embossing powder on the bottom frame, then when it was dry, sprayed it with Golden Sleigh Bells. For the top, I just sprayed it, then used a pearl pen for the dots and swirls.

The flowers were die cut using Spellbinders Rose Creations die. I sprayed them with Lindys Starburst spray in Peony Scarlet Red and Flat Fabios in Queen Of Hearts Red.  I then stamped the flowers with Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3406 Botanical Floral 1 precut set (retired) using black ink.That why it is so important to grab the stamps when they are still available. These are one of my favorite!

I added a half pearl to the centers of the flowers. Some of the flowers were stacked. The leaves were created using Heartfelt Creations HCD 712 Bella Rose Die which is a custom Heartfelt Creations Die manufactured by Spellbinders. I then sprayed the die cut with Lindys Starburst spray in My Mojito Green. I then used Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3390 Bella Rose Leaves PreCut Set to stamp the die cut leaves. I did dd  little touch of Lindys Golden Sleigh Bells for golden shimmer. I only put ink on the leaf part of the stamp and left the swirls free of ink.
