Hello and Welcome!
I'm so glad you're here with my today!
It's another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday, and I have a special card to share with you featuring the Singing in the Rain Collection!
How about we begin the post with a peek first off this time...
If you're anything like me, once February hits you're just tired of winter and waiting for spring to arrive! I have to admit that while working with this collection, my winter blahs subsided for awhile as I was creating! This is just such a great collection for so many different occasions!
I opted to create a fun box card that was spring themed!
I didn't have much time to work on the coloring for this creation, so I used many of the preprinted images from within the paper collection that coordinate with the dies. I used the Box Card die by Spellbinders to create my base and started dreaming of spring as I put the pieces together!
I did stamp, color and die cut the flowers on the project and put them together as a lovely bouquet for those adorable rain boots to hold!
Aren't they adorable! The bright yellow Nuvo drops brought such a ray of sunshine to the card!
I've added hints of glitter to the florals, as well as the rain boots however, unfortunately it doesn't show up real well in the photos!
And, that gorgeous spring umbrella with those beautiful birds...be still my heart!!
I thought they were the perfect addition to the card along with the rainbow in the background!
As you can see, I've added some of the smallest blossoms from the Wildwood Cottage Collection to use as accents on the umbrella and have also tucked a few into the boot arrangement as well!
While this card may look complicated and time consuming, it really does come together quickly because there is really minimal stamping and die cutting!
I've finished off everything with a dusting of glitter and I love how this cheerful spring themed card came together! Can you imagine how this would brighten your day if you were going through a rough patch, had been sick or simply were suffering from the winter blues?
The sentiments on this creation were taken from the Singing in the Rain and Flowering Dogwood Collections, and can so easily be changed up with stamps you have on hand or preprinted sentiments from other collections! How about creating it as a spring themed baby or wedding shower card...the possibilities are endless!!!
Well, I hope you enjoyed today's share!

Can't wait to see where your creative juices take you!
Until next time...
