Heartfelt Creations May Alumni Hop

I was so impressed with this month's graphic! I can't believe this is paper!

Okay, so this month is a completely out-of-the-box HFC card.  It so doesn't look like even what I make - let alone any other designer out there [that uses HFC products]. All that said, I was thrilled with how my card turned out!  

First of all, I used the Summer Wreath Accents Cling Stamps - I just stamped them, and colored in with Copics. Then, I stamped a sentiment from Just For You Sentiments on vellum, and attached it to the panel.

I felt it needed a little something so I used [the new to me] trick of using dies to cut out images from the designer papers HFC makes.  Seriously, I have been with HFC for YEARS! YEARS, I tell ya - and I never knew this about the paper with coordinating dies! [Good grief - but awesome I learned it!] I love the look of the branches from the Seasonal Wreath Paper Collection, and the matching dies are from the Summer Wreath Accents Dies!  So, the out-of-the-box status?  No flowers, no layers - not elaborate.  But still, I adore this card :)
