Cardinal Rose

I'm sharing my second Heartfelt Creations project with you today made with the new Magnificent Cardinal Rose stamp.  I made a recessed window card to showcase my cardinal:

You Mean So Much To Me

Stamp cardinal image and posies on blending card and color with Copic markers. Cut out and set aside. Cut a piece of guacamole cardstock 6"x12", scoring in the center of the longest side. I used a technique found at Splitcoast Stampers for a "Recessed Window Card" but enlarged the dimensions of my "window" to correlate with the size of my cardinal stamp. Trace a square in the middle of the front panel of cardstock, 4 3/8" x 4 3/4". You will have a margin of 7/8" on either side and 5/8" on the top and bottom of your cardstock. Measure in 1/4" and trace another square within the first square. Cut an "X" from corner to corner and using a bone folder, score the outside and inside squares. Fold these to create a window and then glue a 4 3/8" x 4 3/4" panel of design paper inside the window.  Next I glued the embossed garden gate to the bottom of my frame and attached my sentiment. 

I'd love to see any cards you have made with the new Heartfelt Creations releases - just leave a comment with the name of your blog.  Thanks for visiting!
