Well here's my entry example I made for the Heartfelt Creations Design Team tryouts . . . I think it turned out pretty good considering I just had neck surgery and I stayed up till late and got it turned in just under the deadline wire!
You'll notice that there's a vellum insert; which is what I attached my water colored stamped image on.
I just love Heartfelt Creations' Ornate Gateway die! So airy and delicate looking.
Makes me want to walk on through into the quiet garden and curl up under a big tree with a good book for the afternoon. . .
The Scenery Builder Stamp set by Heartfelt Creations helps you add those little extra touches and add dimension to your projects. I chose to add punched and layered flowers on mine.
Just for fun and a change of pace, I used flowers that I had stamped and made using the Poesy Patch stamp set by Heartfelt Creations. Under my salutation I glued the pediment from my gate die cutouts and embellished further. Gotta have my bling!
So I'll be letting everyone know if I make it into the semifinals - say a few prayers for me if you think of it :0) Until then I'll keep doin what I'm doin lovin every minute of it too! I am so blessed to be able to teach and design for Grapevine Designs & GBM Mesa - you both ROCK!!!!
