Lovely You Meets Peony Garden DSP

Here’s another pretty card I made using the Lovely You stamp set and Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. It’s great that one of the stamped images fits right into the detailed edge of the punched label don’t you think?

The colours are Night of Navy, Mossy Meadow, Smoky Slate and Whisper White.

I also stamped off once with the Mossy Meadow on a couple of the leaves, just to give a variation in the tone.

I used my envelope punch board to round the edges of the Whisper White layer, just on one end.

And the DSP is the new Peony Garden from page 149 of the Annual Catalogue.  It's so gorgeous!

I can see me making more cards with this set! I hope you like them too!

Happy Stamping :)

Wedding Cards

I was asked to make a wedding card for a Grandmother to give her grand-daughter on her special day.   She gave me a brief  but I couldn't decide which I liked best, so thought I'd let her choose.

Here they are:

This first one is a CASE from a card I saw on Pinterest by Amy O'Neill.  You can find her card here.
I love the elegance of this card and particularly the dyed flowers - I used Perfect Plum.

I got the idea for this on Pinterest also, but have changed it quite a lot.  The original was created by Daniela Sucker from Germany but I can't link to it because it was on an internal Stampin' Up! blog.  Sorry!
It uses the Floral Framelits - the largest one to make the base of the card.    The combination of Elegant Eggplant & Crumb Cake is lovely, and it's nice to make a different shaped card.

 Lastly, this card uses the envelope as a unique way of showcasing the card.


You use the "Mr & Mrs" frame to pull the card up out of the envelope.  The grandmother is known for loving violets and wanted flowers incorporated so this one has that little extra something inside.

I don't know which one she'll pick, so I'll pop back and let you know when she does.  Which one do you think she'll pick?  How about we have a little competition?  Vote here in the comments and the winner will get a gift from me!

Cheers
