Showered with Love

I put together a few bridal shower cards recently using the Wildflower Path and Itty-Bitty Greetings stamp set. The layouts are all the same, but I used different patterns of designer series paper from the Abstract Beauty collection, some with gold foil accents and some without.

To match with the gold accents in the designer series paper and to break up the patterns just a little, I added some strips of Gold Foil paper to each one behind the stamped layers.

Supplies:

Wildflower Path, Itty Bitty Greetings

Just Jade, Petal Pink, Polished Pink ink

Basic White, Polished Pink, Petal Pink card stock

Classic Label punch

Springtime Wedding

As much as I don't enjoy coloring, I have done a lot of it on the Springtime foils specialty paper (SAB 2018) using the Stampin' Blends markers.  I will share more samples with you again at another time, but for today I have some wedding cards that I created this way.  

I also added some die cuts in gold foil using the Celebrate you thinlits (SAB 2018) and my sentiment of "forever" is from the stamp set called Always and Forever.  

I played around with a few different color combinations but I really like the vibrant red flowers that come from using Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends.

Happy Birthday

As I experimented with the Happy Birthday thinlit on this card, I decided that I need to cut it from darker card stock colors in the future...It just doesn't pop out quite enough on top of the paper lace doily.

In the background of the card, I used some Bundle of Love specialty paper and Gold Foil paper and then added some glitter enamel dots as accents.
