Majestic Morning

I know you have all be waiting with baited breath for my first creation using the newest Heartfelt product line called Majestic Morning. LOL

I was practicing my flower shaping skills this morning using the new die and coordinating stamp, and following the great video Emma Lou has on her blog here.


My first step was to create my die template so I grabbed some gold/tan card stock that I have lots of and cut the template. When the blossoms popped out, I decided I liked them so much, I continued cutting until I used up the whole 12" x 12" c/s. It is funny how some cards come together that way.

I sponged some Carmine red 3D stamp paint on the edges of each petal before shaping them. It adds a wonderful shimmery touch to the finished product. I also sponged some 3D paint on the sentiment. Added a  glob of Dries Clear glue in the center of the two larger flowers and drop some brown gala glitz. Shook off the excess and let it dry. This adds another bit of glitz to everything.





Stamped two images with the stamp from Beautiful Juliet, then cut the circle from one image and the 'thinking of you' strip from the second; then layered the strip through the circle. I also used a panel from the Majestic Morning paper package. Yup, HFC came out with yet another great paper collection, and I love the colors in this one. They are so bright and cheery and the panels make card creating so easy.


Now I have to get back to my flower shaping practice. I think it is a skill I will be needing when I work the HFC booth in Mesa in March.
