Thinking of You Today

Hi, today a LO using the enchanted Mums collection from Heartfelt Creations.
Such a cutie of a photo, look at those eyes! She is turning out to be a true beauty.
To see a previous LO with this beauty click
I did not want to over do it...but the Mums are perfect for the job...of course in real life this is much more....


Love these dragonflies...all different sizes...always makes a delightful finish to a project!


The photo below shows my lack of resistance on adding those great Sparkling Poinsettias from a previous collection this year from Heartfelt Creations. They can make great fillers for any project.
Don't you love the leaves!....so yum!



See below, the gold emboss stamping peeks out from under the flower clusters. You get a birds eye view on how to place the banner.



Another close up on the Mum finished with a gold pearl beed. Love how the distress inks blend...or don't. The close ups show how they work great together...love the richness. Don't forget, when the paper/card stock dries, it dries hard, so it keeps it's shape better.


See the close up below, showing the placement for the Mum flower buds. You can make them smaller or larger depending on the size stamp used, that is what is so great about the new Heartfelt Creations stamp sets, you get all the sizes in one go. The matching die, the same...and they match the stamp much better than they used to!
Heartfelt Creations have up graded their dies! They align true to the stamp, no edge to allow for.
Always the case, you get what you pay for! I think it is worth paying that little bit extra for all the bother taken out of die cutting....don't you?
