Elegant Wedding

We have a wedding to go to in September and I thought this sketch was perfect!  It's the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge.  Here's the sketch:

Here's my card:

Sorry for the dark picture but it's raining here today so the house is pretty dark.  I used the retired hostess set Occasional Quotes for the greeting, it was perfect.  The pearls were a bit of a pain because they kept popping out of my needle nose pliers but I made it!  Here's a close up:



And I had to do the inside.  I kept it pretty simple but still pretty.

I hope you like it!  Thanks for looking.

For the Bride & Groom

My mother in law asked me to make a wedding card for a wedding she's going to in July.  When she asked, I knew I had to use this set from the Summer Mini, Blissful Bride.  I love this set, it is just so beautiful. 

Wood - 118527 - $28.95 / Clear - 120036 - $22.95

This card is 5-1/4 x 5-1/4.  Wedding cards are always a little nicer when they're bigger than the typical size card.  Don't forget the inside! 

Here's what I did:

1. 
   
   Stamp dress on Confetti White card stock.
2. 
   
   Using the bouquet stamp, stamp around the edges. 
3. 
   
   Watercolour the flowers, sash, and around the dress using an Aquapainter and Pretty in Pink ink.
4. 
   
   Colour flower centres with Basic Gray marker.
5. 
   
   Mount on Basic Gray card stock.
6. 
   
   Using Basic Gray Marker and Pretty in Pink Marker, colour "For the bride and groom" stamp.  Huff on stamp and stamp on Confetti White card stock.
7. 
   
   Punch out with Designer Label Punch.
8. 
   
   Emboss Pretty in Pink card stock with Polka Dot Embossing Folder.
9. 
   
   Using the Eyelet Border Punch, punch Whisper White card stock.
10. 
    
    Paste white border to Designer Series Paper.  Paste sentiment to this piece.
11. 
    
    Place Hodgepodge Hardware over sentiment.  Paper Pierce holes for brads, poke through.
12. 
    
    Paste embossed Pretty in Pink card stock, Whisper White border, and the Designer Series Paper to the gray card.
13. 
    
    Wrap Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon around card twice.  Tie a bow by wrapping White Taffeta Ribbon around looped pink ribbon.
14. 
    
    Pull Taffeta Ribbon through Silver Ribbon Slide.  Tie in a knot.
15. 
    
    Using Dimensionals, adhere wedding dress.
16. 
    
    Apply Dazzling Diamonds with 2way Glue Pen.
17. 
    
    Using Big Shot, cut out butterflies.  Adhere to card.

Please let me know if you have any questions about anything I've done.

My Three Cake Mojo

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend! It's a beautiful morning here, not a cloud in the sky! The weather guy is singing a different tune...he says a storm is coming. :( Let's hope not!

For the Mojo Monday sketch challenge, I decided to use the Candy Lane DSP which screamed the three cakes from the Fun & Fast Notes stamp set. I love these colours together, they're just so pretty.

For the inside, I wanted to bring the outside in. I did the same cakes with a strip of DSP at the bottom. Simple!
