January 2014 Heartfelt Creations Alumni Blog Hop

I am happy that it is the last Tuesday in January for several reasons, one it is time for the Heartfelt Creations Alumni Blog Hop, two we are closer to spring and three I am in the beautiful state of Wyoming working this week. I am taking a break from the sub zero ArticVortex temperatures we have been experiencing in Michigan for some normal winter temperatures in the teens and twenties.

The hop starts on  at 8:00AM  Tuesday January 28, 2014 and closes at  Midnight Friday January 31, 2014.
If you are following the order of the blog hop you should have arrived here by way of Alissa.

I really enjoyed creating the card I have for you today.  I used the latest release from Heartfelt Creations named Majestic Morning.  It  has beautiful papers, dies and stamps like we have come to expect from Heartfelt Creations.  Here is a spectacular video to watch if you need ideas on how to make the flowers from this release.

 Stamped with distress ink.

 I  painted Verde Gris Perfect Glaze on the front of the postcard  then let dry. Adhered picture of the Grand Canal after I painted it with PPA and added Mica and Crystal Effects.  I used a stencil and Light 101 Artist Cement  to add my butterfly's then painted with Mica Color.  I cut out the Venetian Mask with a Spellbinders die and  coated with Duo then when tacky covered with Gliden Glitz. I  made flowers and added Prills with PPA Gloss. I used the gold from the Mica Color to paint gold around the edges.
