For Nadine

Here is a card that I made for Nadine.  She was hoping to do a card swap when we all met up at CHA, but we didn't get the details in place in time.  I decided to make her a card anyway so she could have a handmade souvenir from her trip to Chicago.  I thought the sentiment was great to commemorate her first trip off the islands in 20 years.  Boy, did she ever "live for today" during her visit.  Check out her blog to see all her Chicago adventures.

The card doesn't really need any explanation. I used the leaf from Beautiful Blooms (stamped first in white then Ripe Avocado) and a sentiment from Through the Trees.







All supplies from Papertrey ink unless noted

Stamps:  beautiful blooms, through the trees
Paper:  stampers select white, kraft
Ink:   white, ripe avocado, plum pudding

Wedding Day

I made this card for a very special couple who are getting married today!  They are so in love and it's delightful to witness their joy.  Their wedding colors are olive and lilac so I incorporated those colors into this card. 

I cut the layers using my Labels 1 Nestabilities.  On my white layer I stamped the leaf from Beautiful Blooms in Spring Moss and then shaded the edges of the leaves with my one and only Copic marker (C1 cool gray).  I love the subtle shadow effect it creates.   I stamped the verse from SU in Plum Pudding and then inked the edges with the inkpad.  Looped some satin Spring Moss ribbon underneath and added three  Moss rhinestones to finish it off.

Stamps:  Beautiful Blooms (PTI), Elegant Inspirations (SU)
Paper:  Plum Pudding, White (PTI), olive scrap
Ink:  Plum Pudding, Spring Moss (PTI)
Accessories:  satin Spring Moss ribbon (PTI), kaiser rhinestones, copic C1, pop dots, glue dots, Labels 1 Nesties
