Heartfelt Creations June Blog Hop

Hello and welcome here!  It's time for another Heartfelt Creations Alumni blog hop!!  If you've come from Archana's Blog you're on the right track.  If not, you can find the Blog List at the bottom of my post.

 

By visiting all the stops and leaving a comment on each, you'll be entered for each comment (one per blog) to win a $25.00 gift certificate to the Heartfelt Creations store! 

Contest closes Monday July 3rd,  midnight EST. 

The winner will be announced July 5th on the HC Blog and Facebook page.  

Good luck and have fun!

Card Size:  6" x 6"

I tend to lean towards pastel, Spring-like colours but this time I changed things up and went with black, white and red.  The gorgeous paper is from the All Glammed Up Paper Collection.  I decided to leave off the sentiment until I decide what I'll use it for.  I'll just add a flag-type sentiment, tucked in behind the roses. 

I used the HCD1-776 Eyelet Oval Die as a frame for my roses and the sprig from the HCD1-747 Arianna Lace Die as filler.

I used the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit to make my roses and finished them off with some red Stickles.

Teddy Bo & Co. Throwback to the 50s

Hello and welcome here!   Just popping in to share my latest Teddy Bo & Co. card, it's Bea from the 50s, it's part of the June membership pack.  You can check out the action over on the Teddy Bo Facebook page!

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I coloured Bea and the jukebox using Prismacolor pencils.  I decided to keep the background to the card simple so that it didn't outshine the image.  I even paper pieced the border on the wall.  Instead of making a larger card to put my image on I chose to keep the card base small so that it had a more 3D effect...and I think it really showcases the image.

 Recipe:  Prismacolor Pencils (I had started a list of the colours I used but then when I got to the jukebox I forgot to keep track, oops.)  Bazzill CS-white, black & turquoise, Teddy Bo Digital Image June Membership, Foam Squares, Glitter CS.

Enjoy,

Deneen
