Calla Lilies

Hello everyone! I'm on the Craftwell blog today with a elegant floral card. 

I love these Calla Lilies from Heartfelt Creations. I have had them for quite some time now. I stamped and die cut the flowers and leaves and colored them with inks. Then I used my flower shaping tools to give them some definition. I colored few Q tips with yellow ink for the center part of the calla lilies. To assemble them, I used hot glue gun. I also stamped and die cut some fillers from Heartfelt Creations - Tulip Vase & Fillers. For the card base, I used a 5x7 Ivory card base. I die cut few frames from the Heartfelt Creations - Royal Elegance Frames on gold card stock. The sentiment is from Just Rite stamps. This is one of my favorite sets for sentiments, mainly because of the font. I also die cut a few designs from Heartfelt Creations - Swirly Accent Spray and added them to the card.

How do you like my card today? Please do let me know. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!

Happy Easter

Hello everyone!! It's time for mid of the month inspiration here at Where The HeART Is Challenge. Our current theme is Easter/Anything goes. Here's what I made to inspire you:

I stamped the Azaleas from Power Poppy Stamps and colored them in orange. I cut the card panel, the window and the sentiment on my Cricut. The window and sentiment cut files are from Images by Heather M.

I made the calla lilies using foam, following the tutorial by Dr Sonia. I love the look of them. Here's another card that I made recently with the same type of Calla Lilies. I hand-cut a few leaves from handmade paper.

Many of you may already know that Dr. Sonia is celebrating 5 million views of her blog. I'm linking this to her celebration post.

Thanks for stopping by. I love reading your comments.

Spring Fairies

Hello everyone!! I wanted to share a card that I made yesterday and some news.

First on to the card:

I cut the quatrefoil lattice on my Cricut. I downloaded this cut file from Bird's cards a long time ago and was waiting for a chance to use it. I stamped the Fairy Friends from Lili of the Valley on white card stock and colored it with Yasutomo water colors. I love the shimmer of these water colors!

I hope you can see the shimmer on this picture. I made the calla lilies with foam. I followed the tutorial by Dr. Sonia. I've been wanting to try this flower since the time I saw this tutorial. I finally got some foam that I could use for this. For the flower center, I rolled a thin strip if paper and colored it with Hero Arts Lemon Yellow. I cut some green handmade paper for leaves.

Onto the news now. We are expecting our second child in Aug. So you might not see me posting very often. Also, we are moving. My husband got a job in Kansas and we're travelling this weekend. So I might not be able to visit your blogs in the next week.

Also, as most of you might already know, Dr. Sonia is celebrating 5 million page views of her blog. I'm sure most of you, like me, enjoy her tutorials and posts. Let's help her celebrate it in style! I'm submitting this card to her celebration. If you have never been to her blog, stop by her blog here and check out her beautiful creations and easy-to-follow tutorials on many topics.
