Hey there! Hope you've had a wonderful week so far. It's hard to believe how quick this month has gone by. Last week our kids were at Bible School and yet I did not manage to make one single card! We've been having fun this summer and it seems like I've not taken the time to stamp.
Today I made 4 cards - 2 which you see here. I love the color combo at
Just Add Ink so I decided to create a card (or two) for JAI and
SU Only Challenges.
I'm completely out of Blushing Bride cardstock, so I improvised with Powder Pink. Close enough, I think. I decided to use my Stampin' Blends markers to customize my own ribbon.
I love these new disINKtive stamps from Stampin' Up! - they actually take photos of real flowers and leaves and use them to create the stamps. It really makes them look more realistic.
I added some diecut leaves in Soft Sea Foam using the Nature's Roots Framelits.
The lace trim and the basic pearls are colored using the darker of the two Blends - next time I might use the lighter one.
This second card I liked a little more - the lace and pearls seemed a little more subtle and I liked the simple text from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set.
Both cards have some stitching around them - don't tell my mom I used my good machine. My usual "sewing on cardstock" sewing machine was giving me problems.
I challenge you this weekend to use this color combo - it is so soft and pretty! If you don't have Soft Sea Foam, get it! It's a beautiful color!
Current hostess code is E6DNDCZJ - If you order $35 or more by the end of the month, I will send you 5 handmade cards!
Praying you have a wonderful weekend,
Holly
