Instructions: Card Size 6" x 6". Cut a piece of watercolor paper 6" x 12" and score at 6". Fold to make the card base. Cover base with piece of design paper that has the border stamped onto the bottom. I used vintage photo distress ink on the edges of the paper to give it a distressed look. Stamp the image onto a piece of watercolor paper and color using distress inks. I cut out the gates and the ornate top from white card stock and just started adding color. I first used distress inks in forest moss, barn door, rusty hinge; then I added some of the stain here and there. Next I finished off with the Viva Decor Paint; just dabbing it here and there. I was trying to achieve a rusted look. I scored the gates so that once they were glued into place they would swing open or closed. Glue the gates in place as well as the ornate top piece. Glue this piece onto the card base. Next I stamped and cut out my flowers and leaves. I added the 3D paints to these. This was the first time I have used these paints and I tended to be a little heavy handed with them. A little goes a long way. Arrange the flowers and leaves on the side of the card base and glue into place.

Hi to all the Lovely Heartfelt Creations Blog followers, this week I have made a card which is completely a different stye for me so I really hope you all like it.

Instructions: I first cut myself a round card, I used my spellbinder Grande Dies and cut a pretty edged circle card. Then I stamped out the gorgeous Fall season Precut stamp set, I coloured it with coloured pencils and elements like the apples in the picture I glazed with a gel pen which is a clear glaze which dries flat. After colouring it I cut out the image with the same round Grande Die which did cut off some of the wall on the edges but I like the effect. I then cut some beautiful from the paper pack for this month, In my opinion this paper is sooo beautiful. I cut out the gates with some pretty soft gold card and added them to the image. Next I added some bling to the design and made up some flowers which I sprayed with my Glitter varnish spray. Once dry I added more bling to the centres. I stamped the Sentiments precut stamp and cut out the words I wanted to use and matted them onto some more of the gold card I used before, I added them to my design and absolutely think this Stamp will be so incredibly useful. I hope you like my little card cut from a 6 x 6 doubled piece of card stock. It is definitely very feminine and has glitter and glitz added so I really hope you like it. Love to all. Kim xxx
