Kia Ora and Welcome Back

This is my second project for the Heartfelt Creations Young at Heart release today.   The images are so fabulous and make stunning masculine cards – with a few flowers of course.  I love the retro theme of this collection and this z-fold card reminds me of going for trips to the country with lots of forests and birds and old planes and cars.  For more inspiration please check out the Heartfelt Creations blog here: https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/blog/627/debuting-the-young-at-heart-collection
