It's Black Friday, is it a mega shopping day for you? To me, it's a bonus day to hang out in my craft room and create!! Yay!
Today the amazing Heartfelt Creations Design Team is showcasing a new release called the "Garden Romantique Collection" over on the Nov. 24th page of the HC Blog! Be sure to check out the new intro video and the tons of inspiration! Here is the official release description to give you a feel for all that it includes:
- Love is in full bloom with the Romantique Garden collection from Heartfelt Creations. A romantic symphony composed in subtle shades of pink, fuchsia, green, cream and charcoal harmonizes beautifully with picturesque images of dainty hummingbirds, devoted love birds, graceful swans and delicate bleeding heart bushes. Ornate ironwork backgrounds are in perfect harmony with layered elements of vintage sheet music, lace, flowing handwriting, scrollwork, florals, stripes and flourishes. Six hand drawn stamp sets capture the idyllic beauty of a peaceful garden where swans glide across the surface of a glassy lake, nesting lovebirds are wreathed in flowers, and hummingbirds sip nectar from blossom laden branches of exquisite beauty. The coordinating die cuts feature elegant swirled stems, a graduated set of bleeding heart blossoms and a majestic pair of swimming swans. Dreamy and idyllic, uplifting and inspiring, romantic and moving as a masterfully scored concerto, this enchanting collection is a celebration of love and life amidst the extraordinary beauty of nature.
For this Hummingbird card, I stamped and die cut the bleeding hearts and vines with the die collection and assembled them across two different panels from the coordinating paper collection. The hummingbird image is actually pre-printed on the paper! I trimmed around the border of the top maroon panel so it became a "shaped" card. So quick, easy and fun!
This card demonstrates the versatility of the collection, both in color choice and occasion. Fun and versatile and perfect for the special person in your life, weddings and Valentine's day! Instructions for both my cards, in complete detail, can be found on the Heartfelt Creations Blog here -- along with an amazing collection of samples made by the Design Team!
