Valentines, Flowers, and Trees -- Posted: Wednesday, Feb 03 2010

Hi Everyone, I love hosting the blog every Wednesday morning, and I have kept at it very diligently since it started, but wow, if there was ever a week I was tempted to let it slide, it was this week. Now, don't get scared, it's all good. I just have way to many things to jungle on one plate,and not enough time in a day, so the blog usually is done late Tuesday night....so I think I need to make a commitment to do it earlier, so it avoids some serious crunch time....On a different note, this weekend Heartfelt Creations will be in Portland OR and Lawrenceville GA, so bring all your friends and let's have some fun together! God bless you and yours, Emma Lou
	Products Used on This Card 796F Heartfelt Thoughts 855D Tiny Heart Background I stamped the image "*Heartfelt Thoughts" using Brilliance Graphite Black ink, then colored with my Prismacolor pencils and blended the colors with Odorless Mineral Spirits. I then used my Large Deckled Rectangles Nestabilities to cut out image and sponged around with sand (Adirondack) craft ink. Next, I stamped a second time image, cut out umbrella and raise with foam tape for dimension. The background was made by using cream-pink c.s. and stamping "Tiny Heart Background"* stamp. To finish the card, I added some Cuttlebug "Vintage" Corners, Red Stickles, red and white Gemstones and piercings CREATED BY: OLENA
	Products Used on This Card 964S 4 Season's Tree 675F Split-Rail Fence For this card I stamped the fence first, then masked it with a liquid frisket (I use Grumbacher's Miskit Frisket). Once the frisket was dry, I stamped the tree image, painted in the sky, and added leaves to the tree using chalk inks (I use Versamagic inks because they are water-soluble). Misting the stamp after it's inked makes the image blend easily for a watercolored look. I used the same technique to fill in the grass. I added some apples to the tree with the end of a paintbrush. After the panel was totally dry I could remove the frisket (it rubs off just like rubber cement). My oval frames were cut with a Coluzzle template, and scalloped edge was cut with a Fiskars rotary cutter. Created By: Dina
	Products Used on This Card 868C Single Rose Vase 118AA Sm. Bold Heart 119AA Bold Heart I used the stamps "Single Rose Vase", "Small Bold Heart" and "Bold Heart" stamp. For all labels I used my Cricut storybook cartridge. I stamped the image "Single Rose Vase" using Brilliance Graphite Black ink and then colored with my Prismacolor pencils and blended the colors with Odorless Mineral Spirits and sponged around the image with Caramel (Adirondack) craft ink. For background I stamped the "Sm.bold Heart" and "Bold Heart" stamps, using a caramel dye based ink. To finish the card, I added some "Heart" edge punch from Fiskars, Ribbon, Heart Brads, Dew Drops and piercings." CREATED BY: OLENA
	Products Used on This Card 666E Sharing Our Heart I used new stamp "Sharing Our Heart". For all hearts I used my Cricut and "Sweethearts" cartridge. I stamped the image on White c.s. with Brilliance Graphite Black ink and colored it in with PRISMACOLOR pencils. Then, I cut out the image and adhere to the red embossed heart. I used for this a Cuttlebug "Swiss Dots" embossing folder. To finish the card, I added some Corner punch from EK Success, Ribbon, Red gemstones, Crystal Stickles and piercings. CREATED BY: OLENA
