Butterfly, Floral, and Easter Projects  --  Posted: Wednesday, Mar 03 2010

Hi Everyone,
Today we are featuring a layout, cards, and a flower pot that you can use for decor or give away as a gift. As I was making this flower pot, all sorts of things were going thru my head that you could use it for, centerpieces for your wedding, flowers for friends, (and they won't wither and die), use it in your home for decor with a matching 12x12 layout displaying your favorite photos, the list goes on and on, so I will let your creative mind finish that train of thoughts. This week Heartfelt Creations will be represented at the Rubber Stamp Events Convention in Mesa, AZ. Make sure you stop by and see us and we will have some creative fun! God bless you and yours, Emma Lou

Stamp 10 flowers from HC 224 C&D with dk. brown chalk ink and color with orchid brilliance ink.






I cut the centers of these flowers with my scissors. Layer all the coordinating flower sizes together with 3d dots. Stamp multiple sizes of the leaves with dk brown chalk ink and color with olive pastel chalk ink. I purchased floral sticks, moss, styrofoam, and the cute pot at my local craft store, adhere the flowers to the floral stick and arrange in your pot, adhere the leaves in the proper places. Stamp the butterfly with Gold and emboss with gold embossing powder, color with lavendar and orchid brilliance ink. Cut out with matching butterfly nestie or a scissors. Add some ribbon, elements to the center of the flowers, and a tag, by folding a labels 4 in half and stamping a sentiment on the front.

For the envelope: I stamped the image "Bunny and Chick" using Brilliance Graphite Black ink, then colored with my Prismacolor pencils and blended the colors with Odorless Mineral Spirits. I then used my "Labels Four" Nestabilities to cut out image and sponged around with yellow (Adirondack) craft ink. And the patterned paper is from one of my all time favorite companies, DCWV. I used paper from paper packs: Indian Summer (Fall pack). I finished off the envelope with a punched corners from EK Success), "Doily Lace Trim" deep edge punch from Martha Stewart, Stickles, gemstones and piercings.
