Hello friends and a very happy Sunday to all! Today I bring you a card that was created for Heartfelt Creations from the All Geared Up Collection. I had know idea when I first laid my eyes on this collection that there would be so many different ways you could use gears. Once I started looking through these beautiful pattern papers, the stamps and dies, the ideas just started flowing, and when I saw the finished projects I was quite impressed. Once you see what the other gals created with this set, you too will be saying WOW!

Sunflower Candle

Hello all you fabulous paper artists in blogland!

Depend on God
And I am convinced and sure of the very thing,
the He Who began a good work in you will continue
until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of 
His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting
and bringing it to full completion in you.
                                                               PHILIPPIANS 1:6

Hello friends! I have always wanted to give stamping on a candle a try. The thought of it intimated me to pieces. Well, as you can see I DID it! And it was much easier than I had imagined. I created this lovely candle using the beautiful Classic Sunflower Collection.
Heartfelt Creations Products and Products Sold By HC:
 Paper: White Tissue Paper 
Ink: Copics - G12, 14, 19, Y00,11,17,YR27
 Accessories: 5 1/2" Candle, Green and Yellow Ribbon, Score Tape, Beacon Fabri-Tac, Wax Paper, Heat Tool.

Instructions: A how-to tutorial on Stamping on Candles can be found here. After the image is melted into the candle, cut a piece of pattern paper long enough to go around your candle and adhere. Add a ribbon or two as I did and create a bow and place it under stamped image. They make great center pieces.

Summer Sunflower

Hello all you fabulous paper artists in blogland!

Plant Purposefully
Do not be deceived and deluded and misled;
God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned,
disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions,
or by His precepts being set aside). [He
inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude
God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that 
only is what he will reap.
                             GALATIANS 6:7
