Now that I've made all of the formal introductions, let's get onto the projects!
My first project is one of my favorites for this month. The color scheme is simple, just Lilac Grace and white. But I have always felt that simple is always more elegant, especially for weddings!
I heat embossed the wreath from To Have & To Hold onto the Lilac Grace cardstock with white embossing powder. I cut a strip of white cardstock and stamped the sentiment from Swan'sational in Lilac Grace, folding and snipping the ends before adhering it in place.
I die-cut several of the small flower dies from vellum and stitched them in place on the card front. I then went back in with a white gel pen and added a few details to each bloom.
You could use nearly any color to recreate the same project since it is monochromatic.
My next project uses the gorgeous new Paper Clippings set from Betsy. I thought this would make a wonderful "silver" anniversary card.
I stamped the sentiments from the Paper Clippings: Love Story set in VersaMark and brushed over them with Perfect Pearls.
I also added several of the small flowers and leaves from To Have & To Hold, the center accented with Liquid Pearls.
I added a border to the Aqua Mist cardstock using a silver paint pen. All of this was mounted onto silver shimmer cardstock.
For my last project of the day I have a more rustic anniversary card using that beautiful wreath from To Have & To Hold.
The wreath was die-cut and stamped, just love all the detail in it! I also die-cut a few flowers and created a small arrangement in the the lower corner.
I added this sentiment strip made from Harvest Gold cardstock, featuring the sentiment heat embossed in white.
A little bit of Rustic Cream Twine finishes the card.
Now that you have seen a few of my creations, here are some of the amazing things that the team has created!
