Fluttering Hearts in Pink

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a fabulous & creative 2015 so far.

I have a design to show today featuring the heart & butterfly from Chocolate Baroque's new gorgeous Fluttering Hearts stamp set.  I also used stamps from other sets that compliment the new one very well.


The background was created by blending Persimmon and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks.  I over stamped with flowers from Sunny Sunflowers using the same inks.



The flowers, leaves, butterfly and heart were embossed with Gold, painted with Tom bow markers, fancy cut (decoupaged) and layered as shown.   I used leaves from Sunny Sunflowers and Fresh Blooms.   'Beauty' is from the fabulous Artistic Expressions set, which I use a lot.  I added gold embossing power around the edge of the background with a glue stick (& heated). 




Thanks for visiting and have a great day,
Shirleyx

Love the way that you used the heart, but not let it be the focal point! Great colours and beautiful flowers! And such sunny-spring colours; longing for spring? Or just for colour? Have a good week, Gerrina
