It amazes me how a color I normally do not like can look so good on a completed card! Blue is not one of my fav's. I made this card for a good friend who is getting married next week. Her new hubby to be doesn't seem the type to like a girly girl card so that's why I used the color blue as the main color. I know, I just couldn't help blinging it up just a bit...lol The matching envelope may not be to his taste but the card should pass. I am hoping they will both like it. My DH still say's I can't ask for it back if they don't...ROFL The cuter my cards turn out the harder it is to actually give them away...and OMGosh I gotta let them go... Who would have thought that I would come to appreciate the color blue. Anyway's I entered this card into the following challenges:
- Aly's Sunday Challenge Flower Power
- Anya Ink Add Some Bling
- Creative Craft World A Wedding
- Cuttlebug Challenge Create a Wedding Card
- Dare U 2 Digi Blooms & Butterflies
- Lexi's Creations Something Old
- Practical Scrappers Flowers
- Secret Crafter Weddings/Anniversaries
- Tellen's Place Going to the Chapel
- The Creative Cottage It Takes Two (something to match)
Everything I used I had in my stash. It think my DP stash is going to last forever! I may have to start decorating all my envelopes just to use it up faster...then I can buy lot's of new stuff..yeah! Here's what I used to create my card:
- Cuttlebug and Valentine embossing folder
- Greeting Farm Digi Stamps ( Aren't they soo cute!)
- SU Happy Wedding Day stamp
- For the Bride & Groom stamp/yard sale find!
- Copic's and Sakura Gel Pens
- Martha Stewart Heart Corner Punch
- Blue brad
- 2 bling gem butterflies and various color bling gem flowers/all from dollar store
- Marvy Scallop punch to make multi-layered flower on envelope
- Neverending DPaper
- Blue & yellow cardstock
- Envelope another yard sale find
- Ink
Thank's for looking, comment's are greatly appreciated. Can't believe it's been over a year since I have gone to a yard sale. Have a great week!
