Going to the Chapel

I decided to go ahead and make my daughters other card for her second shower, I am thinking she may like this one more, a little more her style, it will be interesting to see which one she likes more.

This paper pack was given to me and when I was searching for the maker all I found on the back is it said Dollorama. The button, corners, sentiment tag, image tag, borders and papers were all in the packet.

The church image and sentiment are studio g stamps, the little path from the church was done with copic and the little dots for flowers were done with a sharpie. The crochet flower is one I crocheted and I did hand stitching.

The weather forecast for tonight is rain possibly turning to snow, but that it shouldn't stick....Oh I sure hope not, I am so ready for spring already, with no more chances of snow.

Vintage wedding shower

I didn't have anything else to post so I am hoping my daughter doesn't check out my blog, her first wedding shower is coming up and her wedding colors are brown and green, so I started off with Gina K brown cardstock, this stuff is thick!  I used my scorpal to add some scorelines to the bottom.  Daisy D paper is used behind the Melissa Francis Vintage cutouts image. I layered that on more of the same cardstock.

For the top I wanted to go for a layered lace feel, so I used 3 different Martha Stewart edge punches. These strips were ones I had left over from making her wedding invites :)  The sentiment tag is a Fiskar stamp, the green was a little too bright yet so I sponged some brown over it to age it a bit, looks better in person I think. The Rose pin I found at $ store and I added a clear bead to the bottom so she doesn't get poked.  I am very happy with the results of this card, hope she likes it even though I don't think she is much into vintage, I'll have to do some thing a little different for her other shower.

To have and to hold

Our friends daughter is getting married next month and her colors are pink and blue. I used a scallop punch to make the outside scallops.  The flowers were cut out using the cuttlebug die. Branches are Martha Stewart punch.  Sorry can't remember who made the diamond brads.  Sentiment stamp is from Fiskars.  Used chalk ink to color the doily blue.

The flowers are made from recycled color catchers that you use in your laundry when you don't want your colors to bleed onto your other clothes.  I thought the colors were pretty and saved them and they ended up coming in handy to make flowers :)

Butterfly inches

Good Morning, sure hope the sun is shining brightly were you are today.  It is only suppose to get up to 49 today but I am sure enjoying that sunshine!

My card today is from a sketch over at Stamp TV that Gina did.  I used Inkadinkado inchie stamps for mine, mounted on K&co. paper that was cut out with spellbinders nestablities. The ribbon is from the $ store and the Hero Arts sentiment stamp is on a cuttlebug slider die. 

My background was done using the Spellbinders impressabilites butterfly embossing, I added the blue chalk ink over it.

Hydrangeas

The image is Miss Elizabeth stickers from the Dollar tree, mounted them on spellbinder dies and added white enamel accents to the scallops, I love this stuff it gives a perfect dot everytime!!

The paper is K&co, and used a HOTP strip to go behind the sentiment, which is a Hero Arts stamp and is cut out with spellbinder, I cut the other end off because I only wanted to use the ribbon on one side.

March is here, YEA!!! sure hope spring is coming soon!
