For The Newlyweds and A UStamp Pass Winner

                   

So let me first start off this post by saying I know I have been MIA, but have you ever just had a week that got away from you? That was my week last week. Between having my oldest in camp and the other two not feeling well (and when they were there was constant bickering), I just didn't have much time to spend in my stamp room. *Insert long sigh here* So when I needed to make a card on Saturday for a wedding we were attending my mojo was a little "lack lustre" to say the least, but this is what I came up with.

Again I turned to my trustly set Friends 24-7 (don't think you can make a bad card with this set). The base of the card is Very Vanilla and using Melon Mambo ink I inked up the Tres Chic background stamp. Love the background stamps for adding quick design to any project. I felt this stamp in particular was fitting as these are great words for any couple. The edges of the card were sponged with Creamy Caramel.

For the main image panel I stamped the flowers on a piece of Watercolour Paper and used several markers as well as my Aqua Painter to watercolour the image. It is backed on to a piece of Soft Suede cardstock and a piece of Melon Mambo that was punched with the Scallop Edge Punch. Using my Double Square Punch, I punched the upper left corner and then weaved a piece of Pretty In Pink Taffeta Ribbon through the holes. For the sentiment I cut out a tag from SU! exclusive Sizzlets Lots of Tags with my Big Shot and Very Vanilla paper. The "For The Newlyweds" is from a fantastic all occasions set called Teeny Tiny Wishes. The edges of the tag are sponged with Soft Suede Ink and two Old Olive Brads are used on either end.
