Well I must say that there is certainly never a dull moment in this household! Yesterday my hubby finally went to the Doctor after sustaining a hard knock to the head Saturday night during his soccer game ( he is a goalie and he still is not sure if it was the ball or a kick that hit him). Of course I was out of town with the kids visiting family so he was able to shrug it off over the phone with me saying that he would be fine-typical man! Anyway yesterday he finally decided it would be a good idea to get checked out ( he was still having a headache, was groggy and now experiencing blurred vision). The verdict-grade 2 concussion, so he is now home resting.
Anyway sorry about the long introduction but I just thought I would let you know what was going here and why this post is going up so late. It is Tuesday so that means a new sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday. This week was especially fun for me because I got to design the sketch:) We would love to have you play along with us this week. They are also having a "Love" Theme Challenge this week at The Paper Players (I absolutely love their challenges) so I kept that in mind when creating this card and decided to make a wedding card.
Wow this card is certainly girlie! But I just love all the new fun stuff in the Occasions Mini Catalogue. I kept very clean lines and absolutely no sponging or spritzing and I still like the way it turned out, lol. For the base of the card I used Pink Pirouette then layered it with a pice of DSP from Attic Boutique and then layered on half a die cut Doily (Paper Doily Sizzlet) also from the same DSP. The bold floral DSP strip is also from the Attic Boutique pack and the thin ribbon is the new Calypso Coral Organza that starting January 24th will be available to earn for free during Sale a Bration.
I had some left over die cut hearts from this card just sitting on my desk and thought they would look cute in the center of the the doily then all I had to do was add a sentiment. I chose one from Petite Pairs ( a great set that has a match greeting for the outside and inside of the card) and punched it out with the Small Oval then added a cute Mini Library Clip and some Island Indigo Bakers Twine.
Supplies used:
Stamps: Petite Pairs
Ink: Early Espresso
Paper: Attic Boutique Designer Series paper, Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, Soft Suede, Whisper White
Accessories: Big Shot, Fashionable Hearts Embosslits, Island Indigo Bakers Twine, Mini Library Clips, Pearl Jewels, Small Oval Punch,Scallop Trim Border Punch, Calypso Coral Organza Ribbon
Have a great day,
Bright and beautiful, Jenn! I love how you used the new products! Thanks for playing with The Paper Players!
