Happy Wednesday!
Can you believe it's another release day with Heartfelt Creations!
featuring the Pansy flower!!!
I've been with Heartfelt Creations for a number of years now, and I have to say that this is the collection I have been patiently waiting for! I love pansies! This collection is perfect for absolutely any and every occasion....from Sympathy, Get Well, Birthday...the list goes on and on!
For my initial project with this stunning collection, I opted to "accessorize" a pretty little gift bag I purchased at my local dollar store. I thought it was such a pretty spring blue, and would look wonderful with my favorite dark blue/purple pansies! I thought this would be so pretty for little Easter treats!
...here's how my project turned out...
The gorgeous intricate die cut from the Sweetheart Borders Die was the perfect layering base to tie into the design.
I stamped, colored and die cut the floral spray from the
Burst of Spring Cling Stamp Set, and used that as my layering background image for the floral cluster. I've then stamped, colored and snipped apart one of the gorgeous pansy sprays in the
Delicate Pansy Spray Cling Stamp Set to act as a filler above and below the other floral image. A few dimensional pansies and several sweet filler images from the
Backyard Blossoms Cling Stamp Set, and my arrangement was complete! You won't believe how beautifully and quickly those pansies come together when you use the
3D Pansy Shaping Mold!!
...and here's a close up of the pansy flowers...
Of course, it just wasn't finished without some gorgeous sparkle and some prill flower centers!
I do hope you've enjoyed today's share!
Thank you so much for stopping by!
I love our time together here in blogland!

Until next time...
