Wintry and Heartfelt

Hello and Welcome back to a Wednesday of inspiration from Heartfelt Creations! Today is my last post for Heartfelt Creations.  I cannot believe how fast 6 months has gone!  I have so enjoyed working with the team and with Heartfelt Creations' gorgeous products.
I have two cards to share today; The first is a wintry Thinking of You card.

To create my background, I used the tops of the trio of trees from the Magnificent Spruce Trees set.  I I stamped in white craft ink around the edge of the background paper and then heat embossed with some wonderful Stampendous 'Frantage' embossing powder.  Dry embossing vellum gave a wonderful look and texture to my next layer.  I added lots of die cuts and bling to finish my card.
My next card uses Heartfelt Creations wonderful new flower die, Sweet Juliet~

I used a sketch from Cardabilities for this card.
Complete instructions can be found at the end of this blog post.  There is more amazing inspiration on the Heartfelt Creations blog from the uber talented Design Team. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed week!
