My Heartfelt Creations submissions

After having a browse through my fellow blog friends blogs, I have found that the other ladies that have made it through to the semi - finals, have all posted there submissions....... so here goes! I am sure you would all like to see mine:)
Ok! you may ask yourselves wow all 4 designs, well I made the mistake of still playing with my papers and dies after I had created my first 2 projects..... so I thought ok they did say I can submit more than 2 if I wish.... I had all 3 ready to post and the email ready to submit. But I wanted to decorate this heart that I had bought a few weeks ago and ohhhhh I shudn't have used my Heartfelt Creations stash..... cus when my friends and family all saw it they all said I should submit this and not one of the others, but how could I choose between them? well I couldn't and my friends and family were no help either as they all chose different projects too........ so there you have it .... a big lesson learnt when doing a DT call submission send them off as soon as one has finished them :)

Instructions:

Dies needed:

·  Vintage Floret Flowers: 1 x medium/large, 5 x medium, 2 x small/medium, 2 x small 8 x extra small (keep 1 for the butterfly antennae)

This is only a guide as it depends how you wish to layer your flowers up. I have used some patterned paper and some cream card to make them.

·  6 x small blossom flowers ( from the layered scalloped posy die set)

·  2 x decorative hearts ( keep 1 inner) (using  your chosen paper)

·  2 x flourish dies from the April release dies (in cream card)

·  1 x small enclosed heart and 1 x small trellis heart

·  1 x plain sentiment box from the paper pad, matching your main paper used on the card.

 

·  Stamp the Vintage floret flowers with the co-ordinating stamps. Heat emboss some of them if you like.
·  Stamp  the Happy Birthday  sentiment onto cream card and cut out (either by hand or a Spellbinder die if you have one that fits). Distress the edges.

·  Take your chosen paper and cut it to measure 8 x 8 inches. Stamp the corners with the corner flourish and heat emboss with the sparkly blue embossing powder. Now adhere to the card base.
· Take the 2 decorative flourishes and decorative heart and distress the edges.
· Using the Decorative Heart die cut out an aperture on the front of the right hand side of the card at an angle. Close the card and with a pencil lightly mark the centre of the heart (this will be on the inside of the card) and now stamp here on the inside of the card with the Vintage Floret background stamp at the same angle as the aperture.
. Stamp 4 flourish corners onto the inside of the card.
· Close the card and adhere one of the decorative hearts in place so that it fits inside the aperture, but on the inside of the card. 
·  Now adhere the April release flourishes , decorative heart on the front of the card as in picture, it is supposed to resemble a butterfly.
·  Make up the flowers and adhere 3 of them on the top left hand corner (keep 1 small flower for the butterfly antennae)
·  Adhere the other 3 flowers inside the heart aperture on the inside of the card, (do this whilst the card is closed to ensure they do fit inside the heart aperture).
· Either make the pearl decorative pins yourself or use some bought decorative pins and adhere to the top of the heart aperture, as to resemble the butterfly antennae’s. Use the final small Vintage Floret to hide the glue as you do need to make sure that these are fully secure.
· Decorate the inside of the card with the remaining elements that you have left including the plain sentiment box.
· Add the sentiment to the front of the card as in picture.
· Adhere the 6 tiny blossoms onto the butterfly wings.
· Finally adhere the brads and pearls and add some stickles glitter to finish.

 The photos are not that great as I dropped my little lamps that go with my light tent when I bought it and changed the bulbs....... and it wasn't until last week that I realised they were the wrong bulbs, not daylight which in turn,  my photos up until the last week have been yellowy:(  I have updated most of the photo's on my blog but unfortunately I had already posted these projects over to America :(

As I have a very hectic weekend I will post the others tomorrow ........ and keep you all in suspense:)
