Happy to see you visiting here on the last Heartfelt Creations Blog Hop of 2014!! If you arrived from  the very talented Loretta's blog, then you are on the right track. I hope you have been inspired so far. I decided to do something a little different this time. I wanted a small decorative wreath to hang in my Scrap  room. I adore the color purple. So I did what I do best. FLOWERS!!!!  placed them on  wreath. I used  a circle piece from Dusty Attic.

For the flowers I used the Sun Kissed Fleur Cling Stamp Set. I die cut all of the different sizes from large to tiny using the Sun Kissed Fleur Die. I love the stamps with coordinating dies. It makes life so much easier when making flowers!!

I sprayed the flowers with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst spray in Tea Pot Purple, then used a spritz of Royal Peacock Fire over it. I layered 3 or 4 flowers from largest on the bottom, to smallest on the top. I crumbled the flowers a bit for texture, then placed  rhinestones in the middle of each one. I used some Stickles around the middles as well.

The viney leaves were all stamped and diecut  using the Classic Leaf PreCut Set and Open Leaf PreCut Set and sprayed with Lindy's Starburst spray in Frosty Forrest Green.I crumbled them a bit while they were still wet for texture.

I hope you are enjoying today's Blog Hop. Now hop on over to Linda's Blog to continue on the journey!

BoBunny Christmas Collage Flip Book

 This is my last BoBunny project for December. Then, we eagerly await the new collections ready for CHA!! I am so excited!!

I thought I would create a portfolio for my Christmas photo's this year. So I used one of BoBunnys newest Christmas collections "Christmas Collage".  I have a wonderful book by Kathy Orta called Interactive Mini Scrapbooks.

I followed the pattern for the Flip Book. This is a wonderful mini album for those special photos.

I even followed the instructions to make the unique closure for the album.

The closure wraps partly around the album. I used the Chocolate Pearlescents  to rub along the edges of the album. Once it was dry, I sprayed the whole outside of the album with the Gold Glimmer spray. Then I used the Gold Glitter Paste to rub over the album in different places. Even over the BoBunny Jewels.

This is the back of the album. I used the beautiful piece of  wood shapes from the Iron Works Collection. Then I cut out the picture of Santa and added  it in the middle.

 This is the album opened up. It is a trifold with pockets and a waterfall feature in the middle. 

This is a closeup of the cover to the waterfall feature. There is lots of room for photos and journaling.
I simply adore the BoBunny Buttons. I added a string to the star button.

Here is a close up of the wood shape.

There are a total of 7 flip pages in the waterfall. Each one is covered with a piece of the patterned paper. I rounded the corners with my Zutter Corner Rounder. I love it because it even goes through heavy chipboard and  plastic. 

I hope your holidays are Merry and Bright!! I look forward to an  awesome 2015 Creative Year!! I hope to inspire, as others have inspired me.
xoxo

Lindys Stamp Gang December 2014 Color Challenge

 Welcome to Lindy's Color Challenge for December. and what  way to end the year. With a gorgeous color palette. The blues of winter, the gold the sun shines on winter, and the pop of red for that element of surprise. For my layout I used the December 2014 Color Challenge MEGA Set
The sprays and embossing powders are amazing.  I started by mounting  piece of white card stock to corrugated cardboard using Mod Podge. I gave it a spray with Azure Sea Asters, then edged it with
Tibetan Poppy Teal.
I mixed some white molding paste with some gesso to create a soft paste that I used to mask my background. Then I sprayed Opal Sea Oats for the gold sheen.

Here is  closeup of the layered photo. I heat embossed the edges of the photo using Starbright Gold Green embossing powder. I used the same color on the embossed die cut snowflakes.

Here is  closeup of the masking on the background.

You can see the layers I used. I mounted my square cuts onto corrugated cardboard,then layered them under the photo.

I did some stamping for added texture. 

 The leaves were die cut and sprayed with  Tibetan Poppy Teal and topped with  quick spray of  Azure Sea Asters for the gold sheen it leaves behind. The flowers were sprayed with Rizzo's Rowdy Red. I kissed them with a little white acrylic paint.

Blue Fern Studios Last Projects of 2014.

Welcome To December. I leave you with the last of my Blue Fern Studios projects for the year. That doesn't mean I will stop using the gorgeous chipboard and papers though!! This has been an incredible year for me designing for Blue Fern Studios. I want to take the time to thank Leslie, Patter, Valerie and my teamies!!! You have all been so wonderful to work with. I have really enjoyed my time with Blue Fern Studios and feel very fortunate to have been with the company since its inception.
The new collection Sanctuary is simply divine. Each one of my projects today  have been created with the new collection. All of the colors I used is from Lindys Stamp Gang.

For this first layout I used Botanical Garden from the Sanctuary collection.I mounted the paper on corrugated cardboard using Mod Podge, then edge distressed it to revel the cardboard. I used Lindys Starburst Spray in Azure  Sea ASTERS to add the blue to the background. I used Opal Sea Oats on the edges.

 I used the Grunge Frames chipboard, misted it with water and when it was soaked I peeled some of the layers on the chipboard, crunched it  bit (very carefully) and dried it with my heat gun. I primed it with gesso, and colored it with more mist.

 The leaves were die cut and sprayed with Lindys Stamp  Gang in My Mojito Green, then Opal Sea Oats for a gold sheen.

I was  saving a stash of single layer Prima Flowers that I just colored with Lindy's  and layered them for fullness.

I just love the corrugated cardboard peeking through from under the photo.

For my next Layout, I used  Garden Plaza for my base paper. I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Spray in Bougainvillea Fuschia to further enhance the pinks in the paper and did some stamping.

I cut the Roman Clock Set Small in 2 pieces and used it on opposite ends of the layout. I inked it in black. The leaves were die cut and colored with Lindy's in My Mojito Green and enhanced with Magicals then topped it off with a bit of Opal Sea Oats for a dusting of gold. The roses were white and sprayed with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Spray in Bougainvillea Fuschia.

In 

the 

garden

 of 

thy

 heart, 

plant 

naught

 but

 the 

rose 

of 

love.

 I used pieces of the BFS Checker Bits, and the title is from the Arrow Words set which I inked black and added some mist to match the pinks in the layout. The frames were die-cut from Bird Song Melody in the Sanctuary Collection. I also cut the frame from corrugated cardboard and adhered the die cut to for added depth.

I simply adore these Prima Flowers. The color was awesome, but I made it spectacular with Lindy's Starburst Spray in  Bougainvillea Fuschia.  

 Here is a closeup from The Story arrow words set chipboard.

For my next project, I used the Blue Fern Studios December sketch for the design.

The card is a small space, but the sketch is so versatile.The chipboard pieces I used are Jasmine Collage and   arrow Words. I split the Jasmine Collage in have diagonally to  spread it out a bit.

I misted the flowers with Lindy's Moon Shadow Mist in Treasure Island aqua and Starburst Spray in Tibetan Poppy Teal. I  primed the Smile arrow word then sprayed it with Tibetan Poppy Teal  as well.

 This is the bottom half of the Jasmine Collage chipboard.I primed it with gesso, then sprayed it  with Tibetan Poppy Teal. The die cut leaves were colored with My Mojito Green and enhanced with Magicals then topped it off with a bit of Opal Sea Oats.

This is a view of the top half of the Jasmine Collage.

Don't forget to join the Blue Fern Studios December Sketch Challenge.

Lindy's Stamp Gang December 2014 Color Challenge

Welcome to Lindy's Stamp Gang December Color Challenge. The wintery color of blue, paired with the warm gold tones and that unexpected pop of red...oh my.. The combo is just beautiful!! I started with a couple of papers from DCWV new "The Winter In The Woods" paper pack. Full of blues, golds, and Kraft paper. Perfect for the Color Challenge this month. I mounted the papers on corrugated cardboard,then started the "unlayering"  and distressing around the edges.
I heat embossed the Blue Fern Studios chipboard piece Helens Doily with Starbright Gold Green. It is
amazing how the embossing powders have a 2 toned effect to them.

The Blue Fern Studios Tattered Butterflies were sprayed with Opal Sea Oats Starburst Spray. I then used Martha Stewart micro beads In the same colors as the sprays and glued them to the chipboard.

 The Recollection flowers started out a coral color. I sprayed them with  Rizzo's Rowdy Red  .I love the saturated color you get with just a little spray.

I used some of the embossing powder around the photo. You just have to pay attention and be careful you don't burn the photo. It embossed pretty quickly.

I capped the corners with some metal corner embellishments. I cut apart the The Blue Fern Studios Quatrefoil Panel  then heat embossed it with Morning Glory Azure.

Just another closeup of the corner of the layout.

This is a closeup of the other butterfly.I did some journaling around the doily chipboard.

Here is the beautiful color palette this month. Why not give it a try and join us this month for the December Color Challenge. There will be five (5) winners of $50 Gift Certificates to the store!
