So In Love Wedding

Happy Sunday to you and welcome :-) It's a long weekend here in Melbourne - Labour Day tomorrow and the Moomba Festival in the city is in full swing. It is a family friendly and free event that has a celebratory feel and a lot of fun activities including water sports, the annual "bird-man" competition and a parade on Monday.

Today's card was made for a special celebration too - that of a lovely friend's wedding :-)

Using a combination of stamps and dies from two new stamp sets, I wanted to create a relatively CAS card  with lots of white space. In real life, there is lots of texture amongst the bling - I love these heart dies with their textural and 3D elements as they add a modern and elegant touch which you can see best in the first picture.

For the inside, the heart is embossed in white instead of gold as on the outside. 

The gold overlay is attached at the top and folded over so it appears to float til the hearts play anchor.

Card stock: Whisper white (thick and standard), Real Red, Gold Foil

Ink: Versamark, Real Red

Stamps: So In Love, Sealed With Love

Accessories: Big Shot, So Detailed Thinlits, Love Notes Framelits, Gold EP, White EP, Basic Pearls

Happy stamping until next time,

Happiest Ice cream for JAI #347

Hello, happy Friday to you and welcome :-) This week has been full of beautiful days - not too hot during the day and cool enough to sleep at night. Perfect :-)

Talking of warm weather, we have a new challenge at Just Add Ink this week. Kim has suggested these rich and beautiful colours for us all to use. Our lovely team have created a fabulous array of cards to inspire you so I hope you can take a moment to pop on over and take a look and join us.

Here are the colours:

And here is my card:

Every so often, I struggle with a colour challenge and this was one of those times. Whilst I use Pear Pizzaz often, the other three colours I haven't used much at all recently and so it was a good challenge to push me out of my comfort zone :-)

And I could imagine the ice cream flavours for these colours so that was the beginning of this card. 

One way to quickly and easily cut the "wonky" panel, is to use Rectangle Framelits. I cut the smaller one first and then drew around it onto the Purple layer and so lining up the angles was easy to do :-)

Card stock: Perfect Plum, Whisper White, Rose Red, Mint Macaron, Crumb Cake

DSP: Regals Stack

Inks: Perfect Plum, Rose Red, White Craft, Chocolate Chip

Stamps: Cool Treats, Sealed With Love

Happy stamping until next time,
