Heartfelt Creations Wednesday Inspirations Spring is in the air...

Hello my friends guess what today is; Heartfelt Creations Wednesday Inpsirations. Today I have a  lovely tag I made using precut stamps from the newly released Countryside Evening Collection and  several other Heartfelt Creations precut stamps and coordinating dies. One of the many things that I find so nice about Heartfelt Creations is that you can  mix and match any of the precut stamps and coordinating dies. There are endless combinations. There are no boundairies.

Thanks

To be Prillific... you can too with USArt Quest.

Hello my friends. It is Prill month over at USArt Quest. I was asked to create something  using Prills, Crystal Effects and  Artist Cement this was not a challenge for me. I have been having an affair with Prills for over a year now. We first  exchanged glances at a show in Birch Run, Michigan  November 2011 and I must say the Prills had me at "Hello!" I could not get enough of them. I had to have them all so that I could have them when I wanted them. I use them for texture, for flower centers, for bug bodies and yes for the most  beautiful frass (you need to be a gardener to know what that is).  And then there is Crystal Effects; my friend. The sparkle that even the anti-glitters approve of. It does not follow you through out your home it stays where you put it. Artist Cement well it is great for texture and building up. So with no further delay here is my creation.

My background is made using the Acrylic Distress Technique found at Split Coast Stampers. I used  USArt Quest beautiful  Perfect Pigment Acrylic Paints. Here  I used Cobalt Turquoise Hue with Titanium White added. It is just gorgeous.  I cut a column from  a Cottage Cutz die covered it with Artist Cement then covered it in  Prills - Taken for Granite.   I cut Ivy from Cottage Cutz die and covered it with Crystal Effects.
I stamped my image and embossed it with Judkins Rustique Patina Bronze. I used a water color brush  to color my image using distress inks and Mica Color Water Colors. The flowers are cut using Heartfelt Creations dies with coordinating stamps and the  Rose and Label dies are Spellbinders.

All of my flowers were cut from 90 lb water color paper then painted with  Mica Color Water Color. Prills were added to the centers.  I painted some Gold Mica on my ribbon and  on the edge of my rose petals. I also added a wee bit of Crystal Effects to the edge of the rose petals. I use a wet paint brush dip it in PPA then dust on the Crystal Effects.

January Birthday

Here is a card I made for all my friends  who have a January Birthday.  I  made a few more friends this month as I was at a weekend crop and a  fellow scrapper asked me if I had an extra one; "I sure would like one for my mothers birthday."  I know those who know me well; know I can not say "NO". I simply made another. When I use up supplies I get to buy more so...it is all good.

If you have males at your house or anyone else who is anti-glitter then you really need to get  Crystal Effects it  adds  a beautiful shimmer without  glittering your men. Look at the wings on the Butterfly  how shimmery they are. One coat of  Perfect Paper Adhesive and sprinkle on the Crystal Effects. That is how we do it!  The body of the Butterfly is Prills also a product of US Artquest.

Have a nice weekend!

Heartfelt Creations never ending inspirations.

Hello! welcome to the New Year and the first Heartfelt Creations Wednesday Inspiration of 2013.
New year, new snow and new inspirations is what  this card is all about. This card's inspiration is all around me.  It is my family, my friends and where I live.  It started on Christmas Eve, when my husband was practicing for choir.  He sings in the church choir and one of the songs they were singing was "The Winter Rose".  It  was snowing on Christmas Eve.  Last week on Wednesday we received about nine inches of the most beautiful sparkling snow. The snow covered everything and sparkled like diamonds.  If you are from the snow country you know what I am talking about and if you are not just close your eyes and picture it............

Yes, this card is all Silver and White and yes there are ice crystals on the roses.

Thank God For a Friend Like You
