Heartfelt Creations...May God Comfort You

It's Wednesday, which means that it's time for me to show you another card featuring Heartfelt Creations stamps! I chose to go monotone on this card, it's more sympathy based and flashy colors don't really go. I even went so far as to water color the lilies with some Walnut stain distress ink. I can't say that I've ever seen brown lilies in the wild, but they'll do for my card:



Here are the instructions to make this card:

Score and fold a 5 1/2" X 11" piece of vintage cream card stock. Score edges at 1/8" & 3/8" around perimeter of base. Add pearl lines, with larger pearls at each corner. Cut a 4 1/2" X 4 1/2" panel of patterned paper and to that add a Decorative Window Scene die and a Labels One Nestability that has been stamped with the Twining Clematis PreCut set and the Cross & Lilies PreCut set sentiment. Water color flowers with Walnut Stain (on inside of flowers) and Pumice Stone ink as shading around the flowers. Dot centers of flowers with Platinum Liquid Pearls. Sponge edges of perimeter with Walnut Stain ink. Feed organdy ribbon through the window die cut and the patterned paper and tie off into a bow. Add metal accent brad. Attach decorative panel to base with dimensionals. Adorn with pearl flourishes.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
