Floral Birthday Card and Tag Set with Heartfelt Creations Petunia VIDEO TUTORIAL featuring the May Scraps of Elegance Creativity Add Ons.

Welcome to my creative space!

Do you enjoy creating handcrafted flowers? I simply adore them, so couldn't resist trying out the Heartfelt Creations Petunias in the Creativity and Creativity2 Add Ons. I really appreciate that Melinda does such a great job including supplies in her kits that I will be using for years to come on my projects.

I have several hanging baskets of petunias on our front deck that I enjoy every day as I look out my kitchen window. There is one variety that is particularly appealing to me. I don't know what they are called, but they are a gorgeous fuchsia with yellow/green centers. 

 

I used them as inspiration to color the flowers.

Close-Ups and Details:

A close-up of the handcrafted petunias on the card.

The Blue Fern Studios Happy Accident paper in the May kit is fabulous! I've added stamping with the Blue Fern Studios Halftones Stamps from the Elements Add On. The sweet birthday sentiment is from the Small Classic Petunias Stamp Set. Additional grungy texture is added with Prills, chunky glass glitter, and spatters of white ink.

This sweet butterfly is from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Botanical Ephemera pack that is loaded with gorgeous floral and butterfly images (Elements Add On).

Petunias on the gift tag.

I've used the same background textures on the tag. The die cut flourish and smaller leaves are more Heartfelt Creations stamps and dies from my stash.

Shabby Butterfly Cards with Adorned Theo Butterflies VIDEO TUTORIAL ~ Scraps of Elegance January Kit

Scraps of Elegance Kit subscribers are in for a real treat with the Creativity Add On this month. Melinda included two wonderful butterfly dies including this Theo Butterfly by Poppystamps (a division of Memory Box). 

In my video I show a variety of different ways to adorn this sweet butterfly. I've created two shabby chic cards featuring the butterflies along with items from the kit and add ons.

Enjoy!

Close-ups

I've use the gorgeous Blue Fern Studios Blush collection papers found in the Main Kit, along with Prima flowers and chipboard for both cards.

I simply inked the butterfly body and added a tiny rose from a previous kit to the center of the Adorned Theo Butterfly. The sequins are included in the Prima Chipboard pack.

I adhered the Creativity Add On Prima Pearl Glass Glitter to the larger flowers.

The main kit includes the sweetest Prima chipboard pack!!

I stenciled the vines using The Crafter's Workshop Tuscan Sun Stencil by Gabrielle Pollacco found in the Main Kit.

The sweet heart doily is included in the Main Kit.

I centered this butterfly with a Buttons Galore Fancy Heart button found in the Main Kit. Of course, I had to paint it with gesso and then highlighted with the pigment powder "paint" I had mixed up for the butterfly wings. Don't you just adore how the microbeads pop on the butterfly wings?

The wooden hearts from the main kit are decorated with pigment powder paint, stamping, and edged with microbeads.

The larger flowers are again sprinkled with Prima Pearl Glass Glitter. Around the cluster, I adhered a mixture of silver glass glitter (from my stash) along with the Prima Blush Microbeads.

I've added the stenciled brick background with The Crafter's Workshop Tuscan Sun Stencil by Gabrielle Pollacco.
