Today I have a card that has taken some time to make as I was looking for the right embellishments on it. This is a gatefold card that was inspired by Emma Lou Beechy from Heartfelt Creations when the Heartfelt Love collection was released last November. I have embellished the card with Arianna Blooms and Wildwood Floral flowers and the leaves are from the Classic Leaf stamp and die set. I have used iCraft flower making cardstock which is amazing to use for creating flowers and even making leaves. I love the Ranger Archival inks and have used them to colour all the embellishments here.
I hope you have enjoyed this card. Watch out for another beautiful Butterfly Dreams card on Wednesday.

Here is the Zig colours I have used for the embellishments
I am so excited to see that Heartfelt Creations has released foam paper for making flowers and there is such a fabulous range of stamens to choose from to add to the centre of the flowers. When I saw this gorgeous birdcage from Imagine Iheartfeltcreations.us/…/debuting-art-foam-paper-and-flower-stamensf I knew that I had to make it with these flowers and I was very happy at how it turned out. Luckily the Christmas Shop had opened just down the road and I was able to get the birds to finish it off.
Assemble the birdcage as per instructions. Apply 3 coats of the Voodoo Molly Vintage paint and allow to dry. Apply pearls around the top and on the middle as shown. Apply pearls to the centre of the rosette flowers on the ribbon and adhere around the top and bottom as shown using Dries Clear Glue.

What could be more romantic than getting married under a beautiful bower of flowers and I have made a couple of cards that would be perfect for such a wedding.
For these cards I have used the Heartfelt Creations Classic Roses along with the new Wildwood Florals from the just released Wildwood Cottage Collection to create a bower of flowers over the Happy Couple (die from Sue Wilson). I can’t believe that I have never used Brilliance inks before but I have now decided they are just beautiful to make luscious flowers with a hint of sheen for a stunning effect. All the flowers and the green leaf swirls have been cut from white cardstock and coloured with the Brilliance inks. I did go over the top of the flowers with Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay for a sparkly effect which is hard to see in these photos.
