I made this card for the huge celebration on Joan's Gardens' blog to mark her 25th Weekly Challenge! You won't want to miss checking out the challenge this week!

See all the details of the celebration and this week's challenge here: http://joanscreations.blogspot.com/2...challenge.html
For this week's challenge, the only requirement was to use stamps from Heartfelt Creations. We could use any other CS, DP or embellishments we chose. I used 4 different HFC sets to create my card. For the top panel of the background, I stamped the Vintage Word Background directly onto DP from the Basic Grey Curio collection. I also stamped the circular border and verse from the Faith Heb. 11-1 set onto DP. I cut it out with a Classic Circle Nestability and layered it onto a Spellbinders Lacey Circle. Finally I stamped the daisies and leaves from Daisy Patch Flowers and Single Elegant Leaves and cut them with the corresponding HFC dies. I finished it by adding buttons to the flower centers, a wrinkled ribbon bow and a rhinestone flourish.
Thanks for looking!
