A dew days ago I was super excited to win the complete new Heartfelt Creations "Floral Shoppe" collection of stamps, dies and papers, thanks to Hochanda on Facebook. Such beautiful stamps, and working with them reminds me of the time when I used to do a lot of flower arranging. There is a large urn stamp and a whole plethora of flowers, foliage and berries to work with. Here is my first make using the prize.
I made an easel card and covered the outside and insides with patterned papers from the pack. Then I stamped the urn onto another of the papers, embossed it with gold powder, and die cut it. I also cut an urn from white card to help to give it strength and stuck the two together. I used foam pads to attach it to the card front, leaving the top edge free.
I used a die, which I think was intended for hot foiling, to cut and emboss a border to use as a stay on the inside and decorated it with pearls.
Now for the fun part - I stamped lots of flowers and leaves onto vellum with clear embossing ink and embossed them with white powder. I coloured them from the back of the vellum, using watercolour brush markers. This was very quick to do as the images were to be die cut, so I could just scribble the markers roughly over the areas to be coloured. Then I die cut everything and used Pinflair glue gel to tuck everything into place in the urn.

Jane, this is amazing! I can't wait to see what else you make with this! I have been resisting getting into Heartfelt Creations, but I think you've convinced me to give them a go ~ hugs, Christi
Finding that last elusive one is always the hardest and quite hard for me to come up with. Hope you are managing to stay sane both with my games and the new drastic measures now being put in place for Christmas. Hugs Mrs A.
