Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations

Happy Heartfelt Creations Wednesday!  This is the second Wednesday in February, and that means it’s time for another fabulous release from Heartfelt Creations! This week, we are introducing another gorgeous springtime collection: Butterfly Medley. 

Are you longing for springtime…dreaming of sunny hours spent in a lavish flower garden where butterflies flit lazily from blossom to blossom? Heartfelt Creations invites you to revel in the beauty of springtime with the release of the Butterfly Medley Collection of stamps, dies, and papers. This uplifting collection is bursting with bountiful botanical roses and a kaleidoscope of fanciful butterflies. Soft shades of pastel peach, lilac, sage, lemon, teal and pink are the perfect counterpoint for the bleak, grey days of mid-winter. Beautifully landscaped backgrounds include pastel plaids, cheery polka-dots, flowing script, classic stripes, elegant flourishes, seed packets, garden themed sentiments and images. Six hand drawn stamp sets featuring botanical roses and butterflies can be paired with two sets of dies, allowing you to stamp and die cut a host of embellishments with a single pass through your die cutting machine. You’ll dream in beauty, plant seeds of encouragement and reap a harvest of creativity when you design with the Butterfly Medley Collection from Heartfelt Creations.

To finish add bow and stickles to the center of the flower.

Oh! Yes! bring on Spring. We have had 10 days of the most stunning weather. Very cold, the sun has shone and the skies was blue, however today is dull, damp and miserable.
Love your "pocket card" must have a go at something like this. It is really different and effective. Beautiful butterflies and flowers.
