Wedding Card -- Nature Inspired

Hi, guys! Hope all is well!  I was asked to make a personalized wedding card by my sister.  She did not want me to make one in my usual wedding style.  No bride/groom, wedding cake or my usual color choices for a wedding. The bride and groom are very earthy, and so my sister asked that I incorporate nature into the card.  The groom whittled his own pen for his guest book, so I decided to use my woodgrain embossing folders by Tim Holtz on this card. I used vintage twine instead of my usual ribbon as well. The use of the Core-dinations paper and the sanding gave it a rustic look I feel.

Supplies:
Stamps: Lawn Fawn
Paper: Core-dinations, Gina K, Desert Storm Cardstock
Ink: Hero Arts, Memento Black, Antique Linen Distress Ink
Misc.: Spellbinders Heart Dies, Lawn Fawn Banner Die, Tim Holtz Embossing Folder, Twine

It was fun having to think "outside the box" and outside my comfort level.  My sister was thrilled when I gave it to her. Funny thing is, now my other sister who works with the bride-to-be wants one to give, too.  Not sure where I am going to go with that one yet!

Have a great day!  I hope you find some time in the day to do something you love!

Embossed Wedding Wishes

Hi, guys!  I'm sharing some wedding wishes with you today. I was asked to make a card for a young couple for their wedding.  I decided to use some embossing and sanding for the focal image.  I went with some fun Authentique patterned paper for the background to give it a modern look. I used NO stamps on this card!  That does not happen very often.

Supplies:

Paper: Authentique, Core-dinations, Ink Pad NYC Notecard

Ink: Distress Ink

Misc.: Gems, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Sanding Block, Oval Punches

Sending congratulations to Ise & Marc as they begin their life together.  

Until next time!
