Recycled Paper project

I was sent a lovely card from my favorite craft store (45 min drive to get there).  I loved the delicate green of the card.  I cut the card into 2 pieces and layered them.  I found Recollections Butterflies and K&Company spray at Michael's. I stamped the sentiment on a Recollections champagne glossy paper. This was done on a pre-made A2 card.

Ladybugs!!

I found these ladybugs and just fell in love with them.  I got them from Heartfelt Creations.  I went with dramatic colors on a silver A2 card.  I used a Colorbox pink then tipped the petals with a red Colorbox ink.  I used the same red ink on the ladybugs then used a black glitter glue on the dots.  And of course, I used my Wink of Stella on everything...I couldn't stop, I love that stuff!!  The lacy doily under the flowers is HC Layered Scalloped Posy (HCD-717).  The flowers and ladybugs are on the Classic Sunflower Stamp  (HCPC-3626) and die (HCDC1-753).  The flower centres are from Recollections.

Mother's Day 6x6 Card

I made this 6x6 card using the Heartfelt Creations Romantique Garden Collection Card kit.  I sent this to my mother for Mother's Day.  I used my Spectrum Noir markers on the bleeding hearts.  I am sorry but I do not remember what colours I used.  I used Forrest Moss distress ink on the leaves/flourish.  Then added a little bit of white flat-backed pearls for a little glamour.  My mother said she really liked it...Thanks, Mom, I appreciate that!

Using the window element from an earlier post...

I was able to use the HC window element from an earlier post in making this card.  I stamped and image from HC Birds and Bloom Collection and coloured it with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I distressed ink the flowers and added Wink of Stella Gl. Gold on the top of the flowers and the leaves.  I added a little Gold embossed vellum Butterfly.  My son suggested it just needed something more and it wasn't "balanced".  Have to say, I was impressed when he told me that!

Vellum Flowers with Silver Embossing

This was a bit of a play-around.  I found some brown craft cards and envelopes at a local Walmart.  I embossed it to see what it would look like.  I added a little iridescent glitter glue from my stash to some of the embossed flakes and such.  I stamped and embossed in silver some flowers and die cut them out with the matching die.  I used Spectrum Noir DR7 on the back of the largest flower.  I had some leftover cardstock in red and I distressed it with Walnut Stain.  Arianna Lace under the flowers...A little bling....I think it looks good.  

My most favorite card...

Of all my cards that I have made, this one is my absolute fav!

LalaLand butterfly glittered up with some Martha Stewart glitter.  Distressed the paper, sentiment and flowers with Aged Mahogany.  Leaves are distressed with Forest Moss.  Flatback pearls in rose/pink added to the centres of the flowers and the corners.  I used the HC flower corner die under the flowers, it is just peeking out.  It just is such a pretty card to me.  The inside is finished but I forgot to get a photo of it to show.  And I used a little glue to tap on the flowers and sprinkled them with the MS glitter.  

Postcard

 I stamped the Heartfelt Creations Stamp (HCPC3563) Postcard with Memento Rich Cocoa Ink, Aged Mahogany distress ink on the edges then layered it on DCWV pink card stock.  I used the Aged Mahogany distress ink on the HC Vintage Morning Background (HCPC 3577).  Then I die cut out the flowers with the matching Majestic Blooms (HCD1 742).  Rubbed some Aged Mahogany on the flowers, highlighted the flowers with a bit of Wink of Stella Gl. Gold on the top.  Made some buds and used some Arianna Blooms sprigs and some leaves from HC.  Then added a little MS glitter in the centre.  This is one of my favorite stamps.  So beautiful.

I was trying out new die cuts.  I bought Spellbinders 8 and Decorative Labels 8.  

I used Heartfelt Creations Decorative Lattice Swirl and glittered it up with a little Martha Steward Aquamarine Crystal.  I layered it up with a swirl die from HC Cut Mat Create 1A using Bazzil Avocado paper.  The flowers are HC Arianna Blooms embossed in silver and Colorbox Inks.  I used my Silver Wink of Stella to add a little more shine.  The flower centers are from Say it in Crystals.  

The paper is DCWV Metallics and Crreative Memories printed paper (NLA)....

This might be the last Sunflower Card...maybe....

Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower Collection Card Kit gave me the chance to create another stunning card.  I used my Spectrum Noir to colour the background stamp.  Rich Cocoa Memento Ink was stamped on the images before I coloured the flowers with Distress Inks.  I used Brown Gala Glitz in the flower centers.  Of course, I used my Wink of Stella Gold pen.  I added a Recollections bling on the side.  The leaves are from the Cut Mat Create 2A die cut set.  

Unfinished Sunflower Card

I just realized that I haven't finished this card.  I don't know what I was thinking when I snapped this photo.  Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower Collection Card Kit was used again.  Brown Gala Glitz used in the flower centres.  HC Arianna Lace spray die cut in Bazzil dark green.  When I get this finished, I will edit this post and show the completed card.  Sorry to my lovely craft friends...

6x6 Spectacular Sunflower Card

Another 6x6 card made from Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower Card Kit.  Stamped with Rich Cocoa Memento Ink and coloured with Distress Inks.  I used the HC Raindrops on Roses doily-like die, cut from Bazzil Brown Cardstock and I cut it in half to frame the circle.  I used Brown Gala Glitz in the centre of the flowers.  I used a rectangle Spellbinders for the sentiment.  And I used my new Wink of Stella gold 101.  I love, love Wink of Stella!!!!

More Spectacular Sunflowers

I made another card from Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower Collection Card Kit.  Stamped with Rich Cocoa Memento Ink and coloured with Distress Ink.

This cute card is from the Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower Collection Card Kit.  Stamped with Rich Cocoa Memento Ink and coloured using Distress Inks.  I added a butterfly from the Butterfly Medley Collection.

6x6 Birthday card

I just love the Heartfelt Creations Birds and Bloom Collection.  This is a 6x6 card that opens upwards.  I added a HC gate element that the branch. flowers, and birds are surrounding.  I stamped the images using memento ink then coloured with my distress inks.
