On Your Wedding Day

We attended my niece's wedding last weekend so I am able to show you the card I made for she and her new husband. 

I used two types of specialty paper - Lovely and Beautiful and Lovely Blossoms on the card and envelope. On both the inside and outside, I sued the Botanical Glow Hot Foil Die with Gold Foil and a retired stamp set called Lifetime of Love.

I added some retired ribbon and Glossy Garden Dots to 

finish off the card.

Retired Stamp Set - Lifetime of Love

Mossy Meadow ink

Petal Pink, Basic White, Mossy Meadow card stock

Gold Foil

Lovely and Beautiful specialty designer series paper

Lovely Blossoms specialty designer series paper

Rounded Rectangle Punch

Butterfly Birthday

I have a niece with a birthday coming up this Saturday and it also happens to be the day of her sister's wedding, so I wanted to do a little bit extra on her card this year and decided to use the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies.

The Bloom Boutique Specialty Designer Series Paper controls the background on this card, I used 5 different patterns from 

this collection.

The sentiment is from the Balloon Festoon stamp set and I used the Gold Foil with the Hot Foil Dies. 

I have been playing around with the Hot Foil system when I have a chance lately so I will have lots more projects to show you 

in the future.
