Let’s Celebrate

Kia Ora Koutou

Welcome back.  I don’t know about you but I feel that I have been coming out of hibernation after being in lockdown for so long.  Here in New Zealand we are in the fortunate position of very few new cases and a country opening up again but I am still very wary of going out and meeting people.

Today I want to share a card showcasing the gorgeous new decorative dies from Heartfelt Creations and the lovely pansy image from the Burst of Spring collection.  I have recently done an online course on how to use Zig Clean Colour Brush markers with Rajni Chawla (please contact her on Facebook for more information) and my colouring has improved immensely.  I love how the image pops out against the gorgeous dies.  I have also used some pearlised vellum from Lawn Fawn for a contrast with the white cardstock.  The photos doe not do this card just with all the glitter and contrast.

Products Used:

Heartfelt Creations Decorative Circle Frames Die

To finish, die cut the small tag from the paper collection using the corresponding die from the HCD1-7202 Album & Tags Die set and nestle to the left of the birds under the flowers as shown.
