Hello friends, welcome to another post of mine where I am breaking some of my comfort zone , playing with some colors , wooden chips and foam flowers.

I am at Craftslane today with their amazing collection of Wooden bases , chips and some paints which has been newly introduced.

I have taken a wooden round placement mat and covered with white gesso. Later cover the base with some lace , corrugated sheet ,  and also stencil the background. Once all covered apply another quote of white gesso. Once all dried you can choose your paint and then start with the layers. For the flowers I have shaped them using a foam sheet and some stamens. The color palette I tried and kept it to Magenta , ruby and shades of pink. Used the Bird cage as the focal for the layout.After applying a coat of white gesso painted the cage white and also added the small birdie.

Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by!

Until then Happy Crafting!

Best Wishes!

Altered Hoop+Debuting Peonies

Welcome Friends to a brand new collection from Heartfelt Collection. Its the second Wednesday where we launching the sweet Peonies collection. Its the flower that comes back every spring with its vibrant colors. This collection gives you all the images large images to color and shade , large and small petals to shade and shape to form your own flowers.Its one of the classic flowers thats a must in your garden and craft room too.

Today I chose to alter a embroidery hoop. I have kept the color to one tone and used foam flowers for the decor.

Instructions

It’s a medium size embroidery hoop that has been altered. To create the base cover the entire hoop using baker’s twine using some tacky glue. Take any pattern paper from the paper collection and prep the base by applying some gesso. Take a stencil and then apply some texture paste at random corners. Sprinkle water base spray paint, art stones, and some crystal clear. Heat set at every layer before applying the next. Once all layers are dried add some beads and art stones. Once the base is ready stick the paper to the base of the hoop which will form the surface on which we can start layering the projects.Cut two fish tail banners measuring at 3”x1.5” and another at 1/8” less than the base one. Distress the edges and on the front pattern banners stamps some images of the peonies with mustard distress ink. On the front banner stamp the sentiment from the words of encouragement set using black archival ink. Place the banners on a foam adhesive and then place it on a foam adhesive at the center of the hoop.To create the flowers, stamp and die cut several pieces of the small and large peonies from the art foam and then shape them by pressing against any heat tool. Pierce a hole at the center and then place the flower stamens and set it using any tacky glue. For the leaves using leaf green archival ink and then shape the leaves also similar way. Once all flowers and leaves are made start assembling them around the banners and also create the base using some dry ferns, lace and also some wooden chippies colored and embossed. Once all assembled add some glitter and some more glitter spray paint at the end.\

Happy Valentine!

Welcome friends to another post where I have played with a bright color palette and with not so traditional valentine color. Yes its not red , pink or black. This card is made using Mudra Cut3 dies which were recently released.

To create this card die cut several pieces of the Gardenia set from plain white foam. Using distress ink or Archival ink you can shape the flowers and the leaves. Once colored hold it against a hot press at mild settings you will see the petals curling on its own. Its a natural process and we can choose to either keep it that way or tweezers it all the more to get the desired shape. Pierce the center to fill in the center stamen.To create the background I have used distress oxide and splash of water to create a mild cyan background. Once the background is created place all the leaves and flowers that are shaped. Stamped the sentiment " I love you" with archival black ink on a white card stock and clip with a small wooden clip. Stick the same on the center tucking in to the flower bouquet center.To finish the card add some splashes of white gesso and cyan distress ink.

Let me know your thoughts and how you liked it. I will soon be back with some more fun and creative projects.

Love XOXO

Fold out Foam Carnations

Good Morning Friends, With a Merry Christmas just gone by, I am back with another Heartfelt Creations today! In today's card I have used the fold out cards and some newly launched foam flower. The fold out cards are so much fun to work with,

For today's card here's how I have created with some foam carnations and fold out technique.

Instructions

Start by taking a Kraft flip fold card layout. Measure patterned paper at 1/8" less than the card and distress the edges. There are 2 layers in each of the fold which measure 1/8" less. Stamp some small and large carnation using Plum and leaf archival ink from white foam paper. Shade and color the petal using Crushed Olive and Wilted Violet distress ink. The edges are re-inked once the petals and leaves are shaped.

Die cut a decorative border from white card stock and tuck it in every layer between the card base and the pattern paper. To shape the foam flowers, I used a press which allows the petals to bend automatically and then we can shape it. Layer the petals, pierce the centers and add the stamens.

To arrange the bouquet, use some twigs, pearls and leaves and assemble all the shaped flowers and leaves. Adhere as shown. To finish the card fussy cut tags and sentiments from the paper collection and distress the edges with frosted powder.
