Heartfelt Creations April Blog Hop

Hello and welcome here!   It's time for  Heartfelt Creations Alumni May Blog Hop and this month I get to start us all off.  You can find the Blog List at the end of my post!  At the end of the month, past HC DT members get together for a Blog Hop full of inspiration using some of our favorite Heartfelt Creations collections!

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 May 1st,  midnight EST.  The winner will be announced Apr. 3rd on the HC Blog and Facebook page.  Good luck and have fun!

 Card Size: 6.25" x 6.25"

Doesn't it feel Spring-y!?!  I used the Flowering Dogwood Collection and since I don't have the matching stamp set yet, I used my Botanical Rose stamp set and Distress Inks to make the flowers.

I used the Eyelet Oval die as a mat for my flowers and pinwheel.

I layered some of the flowers.  I also shaped some of the same flowers differently.  I love how you can get different looks with the same stamp set.

I love the dimension you can achieve.  People are always amazed the first time when you show them how a flat piece of cardstock jumps to life when you ink and shape it.

For my pinwheel I made a little template for the individual vanes, I traced it and fussy cut it out 7 times.  I then folded them and joined them together to make my finished pinwheel.  As an added surprise I die cut one of the Arianna Lace dies and folded it to attach to the center, I finished it off with a rhinestone.
