Stampavie & more #86 – GDT card

stampavie and more #86 - wedding

This week over at stampavie and more challenge the theme is wedding.  I thought for a change I would try and make a stylish, clean and simple wedding card (a la Victoria) instead of my usual cutie style.  I am really happy with the way it’s turned out and will attempt this style of card again – although I really like my cutie cards too.  I used my SU ‘Mrs & Mrs’ stamp set for the image and sentiment and I am pleasantly surprised how clear the image stamped out – this was the first time I used this particular set.  The black images were stamped using a black versafine inkpad and the pink image was stamped with a gorgeous brilliance inkpad – I think you can see the shimmer in the picture from this ink.  The sentiment was cut out with one of the spellbinders ribbon tags trio and the pink velvet ribbon is from my stash.  The paper is DCWV from ‘the stack’ and the plain pink paper is PM.  The adhesive stones are from Joanna Sheen

The rest of the DT have made some stunning creations – I hope you will have a chance to pop over and take a look and maybe leave them a nice comment.  I can’t wait to see your wedding cards this week and look forward to visiting your blogs. 

My card also fits in with the following challenges:

Cute Daisy May challenge – anything goes

Pollycraft challenge – sparkly things

Sophisticat challenge – new beginnings

Cute card Thursday challenge – celebrations

Paper cutz challenge – anything goes

Allsorts challenge – pink, black and white

Secret crafter Saturday challenge – anything goes

Have a great Wednesday, half the week gone *yay*.  I’ve got quite a few card orders to catch up on so hopefully some new cards for me to show off soon :)  Thanks for stopping by.

Penny Black challenge #36

This is my card for this week's PB challenge, which is a sketch. I've turned the sketch on it's side to accomodate the image. I stamped the gorgeous floral PB image using my brilliance pearlescent orchid inkpad. The plain pink cs is from the papermill shop and the patterned dp is a freebie from a craft magazine. The striped and checked dp is by DCWV from the nanna's nursery (boy) paper pad. The plain aqua dp is from a paper pack from QVC. The ribbon and pearls are from my stash and the buttons are doodlebug. Thanks for looking.

Mojo sketch challenge #70

This is my card for this week's mojo sketch challenge. I used a forever friends image and coloured it with my pro-markers. The dp is by pebbles inc and the pink and black cs is from the papermill shop. I used a woodward large scallop circle punch and handcut the smaller circle (I need to get me some round nesties!!). I used the elzybells heart stamp from the s-moo-ches valentine clear set and used a pink brilliance ink pad. I also stamped some dots using my large SU background stamp with brilliance ink on the long pink panel. It's hard to tell in the photo but in real life the ink shimmers, it's really yummy ink. The sentiment is again an elzybells stamp that I only stamped part of. Thanks for looking.

Simple but elegant

I had to make a batch of three cards for the same lady who was celebrating her 90th birthday. This is the first of the three. I stamped the gorgeous penny black image with brilliance pink ink (apologies for the poor photo but the ink is so beautiful and sheer it doesn't capture very well on camera). I used free dp that came with a magazine and bazzill bling cs and printed the sentiment on my pc. The lovely black ribbon is from my stash. A simple but elegant card. I hope you agree. Thanks for looking.
