Wedding Card

I really wanted to use a color of cardstock that isn't something I usually reach for. You know we all have colors that we prefer to work with and this Stampin Up color called Orchid Opulence is one that has been waiting to be used since I have so much of it left!!

I started off with this color for the card and matting under the stamped image. The mat next to the card itself is a irridescent vellum that has been embossed with a Cuttlebug folder (Divine Swirls). I used Whisper White to stamp the images outside and inside with Brilliance Graphite Black ink. The ribbon is SU whisper white but colored with the Orchid Opulence SU marker. Then it is topped with a thinner white ribbon.

The inside was stamped on Whisper White with a purple ink and embossed with clear powder. Then I traced the lines and colored the hearts with Copic markers: RV19, BV00, C3, C1 and used the blender 0. I also made squiggles on the front with a ZIG metallic writer and used it too on the wedding rings to add some shine. On top of all of that I used a clear spica glitter pen to add a little sparkle.

I got the best picture using a flash on my camera, but the colors don't look as good in the pictures as they do in person. I hope you like it anyway!! Thanks again for checking out my blog!

Stamps:

Front: Great Impressions

Inside: SU Soft Swirls background, SU God's Blessings

Bluebirds In The Backyard

These kinds of beautiful bluebirds are seen regularly in my backyard. Their color is bright and they are always a joy to watch. You really have to watch their houses because sparrows will come and take over a house and kill the babies or destroy the eggs. I think the sparrows know that we are the protectors of the bluebirds!

This package of cards comes with a couple of sentiments that can be used on the outside of the card to make them a little more personal and on the inside, there is a strip of designer paper to bring a design element to the inside of the card.
