It's That Time of Year Again.....Heartfelt Creations Design Team Vote!

Good morning everyone and welcome to Heartfelt Creations Wednesday.  That time of year has rolled around again and I'm here asking for your vote to help me stay on the design team for this wonderful company.  Just follow this link and cast your vote for the design team members you would like to remain on the team. http://hcgo.co/DesignTeamVote2018. You can only vote one time and you have to select 5 or more to be eligible to participate. Voting ends on February 9th, 2018.

I have always loved this company and the things they stand for and of course I love their product.  I'm a walking advertisement for them and find I'm always being stopped and asked about Heartfelt Creations.  I'm never too busy to stop and tell them about what a wonderful company they are and how their stamps, dies and papers are top quality. Of course I've always been about the flowers and find lots of people are very interested in learning how to make them for their own projects.  It does my heart good to convert someone over to a flower maker.  So please find it in your heart to vote for me and hopefully I can stay on the team for another year; and thank you in advance for your kindness!

Now down to our regular Wednesday morning business:

Cut out the Window Box Element and glue it to the front of the tag.  Stamp the flowers and leaves using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then color using the Dove Blender pen and various Memento Inks.  Using the coordinating dies, cut out the flowers and leaves and then glue them to the die cut element.  Pick out a tag from the paper and cut it out and then using dimensional tape adhere it to the top of the tag. Color the seam binding and scrunch and then set aside to dry. Once dry, tie a length in the top of the tag.

Using black ink, stamp the flowers and the boot onto white cardstock. Color with various inks and Dove Blender Pen. Cut out with the corresponding die. I cut a slice along the top of the boot so I could slip the flowers down inside the boot. Glue the Flower Soft to the flowers used as thistles and allow to dry. Glue the flowers and leaves down on the backside of the boot.
Add a drop of glue to the centers of the flowers on the boot and sprinkle the prills over that and allow to dry. Once dry, use the Dimensional Tape to adhere to the card front.
Pick a piece of the paper collection and using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, stamp the sentiment and then cut out using one of the circle dies. Adhere to card front using dimensional tape.

Instructions: 
My card size is 5 X 7.  Make card base with white cardstock and also cut a piece of pink cardstock to use with the embossing folder.  Glue the embossed cardstock to the card base and set aside.

Cut one of the card fronts from the paper collection.  Distress the edges and use dimensional tape to adhere to the front of the card.  Cut the sentiment from the paper and use dimensional tape to adhere to the card front. 

Stamp the flower petals with Rosebud Memento Ink and stamp the leaves with Bamboo Leaves and cut out using the coordinating die.  Color the edges of the flowers with the Rosebud Ink and the leaves with Cottage Ivy ink.  Run the flower petals through the Sizzix machine with the Floral Basic Shaping Mold.  Continue shaping with the Deluxe Flower Shaping kit.  I used hot glue to glue the flowers together and added the Crystal Clear to the flower petal edges.  Set aside to dry. 

Arrange the flowers and leaves on the card front and glue down.
