It's so great to "see" you today!
Thanks for stopping by my small corner of the world to check in on what's going on!
As you know, it's Wednesday which means it's another Heartfelt Creations share!
Today is my last project with the Winking Frog Collection!
It's such a great collection perfect for any age and really any occasion!
I decided that I wanted to create a marsh scene and thought an easel card would be fun to make and I would have tons of room to create the scene with a bunch of elements from the collection!
The square pre made card panels made it so easy to start designing!
Let's take a look at how the project turned out...
I decided to give the piece a touch of elegance by adding the ornate die cuts to both the top and bottom of the card.
Here's a closer view of the little scene I created on the card front...
...here's a closer peek at the bottom portion of the card...
...and of course we need to have a closer look at the lily pads and water lilies that act as the stop on the bottom of the card base...
As you can see I've used an number of stamps and dies on this creation, done some die cutting and some fussy cutting from the paper collection as well. I've also added a touch of glitter here and there to add to the interest of the piece. I've added the sentiment strip to the top of the card as I thought it just summed up what these fun and care free frogs would be trying to tell us!
I hope you've enjoyed your trip to the marsh today and have enjoyed seeing all the fun the Winking Frogs have been having! Be sure to check out the Heartfelt Creations blog for some more amazing inspiration...and if you haven't had a chance to check out the sneak peek of the new collection being released in April, it's there for you as well! I'm sure you'll be "berry" impressed!
Wishing You a Beautiful Day!
Wishing You a Beautiful Day!
Until next time...
