Card Size:  6" x 6"

I've made a Stair Step Card this time.  My Secret Santa Monica P. from over at Scrapbookers of Country Craft Creations facebook group, gifted me with some Heartfelt Creations Wildwood Cottage items!!!!!!  So I have used some on today's card!

Here's a side view of the Stair Step Card, I love how you can add different layers for interest.

I used a panel from the Wildwood Cottage Paper Collection and die cut a scalloped edge using the Border Essential die.  I then stamped and die cut the fence and flowers from the Wildwood Cottage Accents set.  The sentiment and bird are part of the paper collection and I fussy cut them and matted them with cardstock.

I stamped and die cut the flowers, grass and gate from the Wildwood Cottage Accents set and used Prismacolor pencils for some added dimension.

I added some Glossy Accents to the water but at this angle you can't see the sheen.

The wheelbarrow is also part of the Accents set and I stamped it on Kraft cardstock and coloured it with Prismacolor pencils.

Recipe:  HCPC-3772 Wildwood Cottage Accents Stamp, HCD1-7128 Wildwood Cottage Accents Die, HCD1-783 Border Essentials Die, HCDP1-274 Wildwood Cottage Paper Collection, CMTH CS-White Daisy, Bazzill CS-pink, light green, burgundy & Kraft, Prismacolor Pencils, Nuvo Fresh Snowfall Glitter, Twine, Foam.

You've reached the end of the Blog Hop for December!  I hope you enjoyed and are inspired by all the fun Heartfelt Creations projects!!!  See you next month!
