Welcome!
How are you doing this fine day?
It's another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday, and I have a unique Christmas card design to share with you today!
I decided I wanted to challenge myself to create a holiday card using the Patchwork Daisy Collection this week! I just thought the Snowy Pine Village from the Merry & Bright Collection would look fantastic nestled in and among some cozy patchwork and bring to mind old fashioned memories of sleigh rides where you are bundled in warm quilts! I hope you'll feel that I accomplished the look and will enjoy my unique share this week!
...here's a peek at how the design turned out...
I've used several collection in this creation...the village scene and the panel it has been stamped on comes from the Merry & Bright Collection, the small patches have been stamped onto paper from within the Buttons and Blooms Collection, and the rest of the decorative paper has been pulled from the Patchwork Daisy Collection.
I've stamped with small poinsettias and the holly clusters onto decorative papers from the Merry & Bright Collection so that coloring would be kept to a minimum on this project. I've stamped the daisy images onto white card stock using black ink and have colored them using the Stack and Store Daubers and the colors listed in the instructions below.
...here's a closer look at the daisy border...

I've glittered all of the flower petals with Designer Dries Clear Adhesive and Rajni Chawla's Crystal Clear. It provides the perfect sparkle for all of your holiday creations!
Of course, those pretty fabric like patterned flowers needed real button centers...and the mini poinsettias some prills.
I do hope you've enjoyed the project I've shared with you today!
