Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening to you!
Welcome!
I'm so glad you're here!
I have a garden themed card to share with you today featuring the pretty Classic Petunia Collection by Heartfelt Creations!
Let's start right off with my creation and I'll give you some details about it along the way...
Let's start right off with my creation and I'll give you some details about it along the way...
As we speak, I have been busily cleaning out my flower beds and getting ready for the arrival of my hummers. Today's chores will include cleaning the feeders and making sure they are ready for the homemade sugar solution I prepare for them. I always look forward to this time of year and get super excited when they arrive.
When I spotted the background card panel with the watering can, chair and florals I thought about my little perennial bed where I make a rest stop for my hummers and orioles and it reminded me of how I sit on my front deck waiting to hear those first buzzes and flitters of those tiny little jewels. The sentiment on the top of the panel was perfect as well, as watching these beautiful birds in nature has a way of reminding your soul of the beauty in the world and to look for it daily! I decided to create the card with the layering of another premade card panel from within the paper collection and to dig out my hummingbird stamps from the Botanic Orchid Collection.
I opted to use the largest of the hummers in the collection and to just snip off the orchids and have the bird appear to be sitting among the petunias. The Stack and Store daubers made quick and easy coloring for that pretty little hummingbird!
...here's a closer look at the hummer and the petite petunias...
A touch of glitter and a few sequins and the project was complete!
I do hope you've found some inspiration here today as you've spent time with me!
I also hope that you've been reminded to take time to fill your soul with beauty...in the fast pace of life we seem to have to aim for this as we tend to let things rush by us and not see the tiny miracles and beauty that surround us.
Now, have you stopped by the Heartfelt Creations blog already? If not, be sure to find some time to head on over there to check out the amazing projects the design team have created for you!
You may just find yourself super inspired and heading over to the nearest greenhouse to pick up a flat of live petunias to enjoy while you wait for your order for the Classic Petunia Collection from the Heartfelt Creations online store to arrive! LOL
Until next time...
