Arianna Humingbird Thank You

 
Good evening my crafting friends..... I think I can now call you all friends, you have all been so kind with all of your comments on my blog, facebook messages and emails...'Thank you'  I hope you are all having a great weekend...it has been a little wet here in the South East, but really muggy:(
 
I have spent today finishing off the  prepping for my album class tomorrow at Hope and Chances down in Gravesend and have been drawling over the next 2 Heartfelt Creations collections which I will make a start on next week.....the July collection I think is going to be one of my all time favourites and I really can't wait to start playing with it and the August collection......ummm well I am not going to give anything away, but this I know you are all going to loooovvvvveee!!!
 
I just wanted to post another Arianna card as I have made so many it is going to take a good few weeks to get through them all. 

Arianna Hummingbird - Thank You



  • I have used the Arianna Hummingbird precut set - HCPC 3613. I stamped it with Versafine ink - Vintage Sepia and coloured it in with Versa Magic chalk inks - Aloe Vera, Thatched Straw and Hint of Pesto.
  • I die cut out and stamped a selection of the Arianna Bloom flowers and also die cut several of the stamens in different sizes and a couple of the flourishes.
  • I chose a very soft creamy yellow paper from the paper collection and adhered it to my card base.
  • I stamped the sentiment from the Arianna Bird Haven precut stamp set onto white card and used a Spellbinder die - Fancy Tags Two which Ihave die cut out in some Bazzil card stock which matches the papers perfectly.
  • I have  added a length of lace  about an inch from the bottom of the card and then assembled the rest of the elements.
  • I have added quite a bit of Stickles glitter - Diamond and some pearls.
I love the soft tones of this card:)

  16. Another beauty from this gorgeous collection! I think I remember it from your many, many fabulous samples on the Nikki Payne show. I can't believe that there are two more collections on the horizon. Hope you had a lovely day in Gravesend.

  18. Evening Nikki, You are such a tease !!!!!! The next two collections sound stunning, HC are always 'awesome', I wonder how they can 'top' the previous month's collection, but they always can !!!!
    I love this card, the neutral colours are so pretty and the compilation, as always, is fabulous.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
