Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design Team Blog Hop

What a glorious morning!  Today is the last Tuesday in the month of January and also the day for the monthly Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design Team Blog Hop.  What fun it is to get together with former design team members from Heartfelt Creations and create projects with some of our favorite HC stamps!  If you arrived here from Carla's blog then you are on the right track.  If not, you will want to start at the beginning with Olga's blog so you don't miss any of these beautiful creations!

My card base is Georgia Pacific as well as my lacy frame made with Martha Stewart Double Loops Punch Around the Page punches.   My design paper was made by sponging Stampin Up Orchid Opulence ink on the inside of a Cuttlebug folder, Kassie's Brocade, and then embossing another panel of Georgia Pacific cardstock.  I stamped my image and sentiment from Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3371 Dutch Iris PreCut Set with Adirondack Pitch Black ink and colored it with Copic Markers YG0000, YG11, YG13, Y32, Y35, G24, BV0000, V0000, V01, V06, V20.  I cut my image out with Spellbinders Large Petite Ovals and framed with HFC 710 Decorative Oval Window Die.  The sentiment was cut with Spellbinders Fancy Tags 2.  I added a scrap of lace and pearls made from a Viva Decor Pearl Pen for the final touch.
