Hello!
Good morning, afternoon or evening to you all depending on where you are visiting from!
It's Wednesday which means it's a Heartfelt Creations day here on the blog..and it's a special one because it is also new collection release day!
Today we bring to you the Tropical Paradise Collection
Escape to an exotic paradise where the air is warm, lush rainforests are
filled with the calls of outlandish birds of paradise, and the day begins and
ends with the most spectacular array of colors!
Heartfelt Creations invites you to slip away to utopia with the new
Tropical Paradise Collection! Filled
with bright and vibrant colors, the exquisitely designed paper collection will
transport you to a tropical island with its fiery sunset reds, dazzling sunny
yellows, deep ocean blues and rich leafy greens! Discover the unique and breathtaking birds
that call this exotic place home, from toucans to parrots, flamingos and
cockatoos which have all been beautifully illustrated and assembled into three
dynamic cling stamp sets and coordinating dies!
Further your equatorial escape with realistically shaped plumeria
flowers most commonly known for their inclusion in traditional Hawaiian leis
boasting blossoms in pinks, whites, reds and yellows amid their large, leafy
foliage. Join us as we walk the warm,
sandy beaches and the glistening ocean laps at the shoreline and help us bid a
warm Aloha to the new Tropical Paradise Collection!
Allow me to share with you my first creation using this glorious collection!
I chose to keep this card fairly simple!
I had never used my floral Tudor Rose die from Spellbinders and thought it would compliment the tropical theme to the creation perfectly! I didn't want to cover it up completely, so I kept most of my dimensional design to the top of the card.
The Thank You sentiment is from the Heartfelt Wishes Cling Stamp Set in the Under the Sea Collection. I've embossed it with a pretty Verdigis embossing powder that has flecks of greens, golds, and blacks.
The leaves have all been colored in different color combinations of green inks so that there is a tad more variety and appeal to the eye. Those gorgeous birds have been colored very quickly using sponge daubers...I can hardly wait for my new Heartfelt Creations Precision Sponge Daubers to arrive...I know they will make adding color to die cuts quickly so much easier and more precise!
Lastly I've added three large plumeria flowers...I won't even try to tell you that these came out perfectly the first time...I threw away at least three before I was happy with how they were coming together. They are definitely a bit more of a tricky flower to learn, but once you get accustomed to how much overlap there should be on the petals they do come together easily enough! I definitely do recommend watching Emma Lou's video on how to assemble them...you will find that link listed in my instructions below.
I do hope you've enjoyed what I've shared with you today!
The Tropical Paradise Collection is so much fun and full of such vivid and happy colors! You really will feel like you've on a tropical vacation while playing with this collection!
