Spring Wedding Card Ideas

Hello there,

Can you believe it is March already?!  Where does the time go!

We have a wonderful blog hop for you this month and the theme will help us get ready for spring!  All creations will be based on spring weddings! 

We had a blizzard here in southern Ontario that kept most everyone house bound for over 24 hours last Friday.  So, a spring theme is a wonderful diversion.  lol.

With spring wedding being the theme, I knew right away I wanted to use the new Timeless Tulips from the Spring 2020 catalogue.

I used a 'new to me' technique on this card.  I absolutely LOVE how this card turned out and it was surprisingly easy.  This technique gives the look of watercolour painting.  I think it is so pretty.

To create these flowers, I stamped the flowers in a light colour ink, I used Daffodil Delight.  I then used 2 different pink sets of Stampin' Blends.  I started with the lightest of the four markers and coloured over all of the yellow, then the next lightest and coloured most of the flower leaving the top of the flower light and then next lightest colour and so on with the darkest of the four colours keeping mostly to the bottom of the follower.  I then used the lightest and blended it all in.  Finally, I used the colour lifter to add some highlights.  

The stems were created in the same way only using two different green colour blend combos.

The greeting is from Dandelion Wishes.  I punched it out using the Story Label Punch, added a Petal Pink stitched circle and a vellum stitched oval.  

Be sure to hop on through and see of the other spring wedding ideas.

Happy stampin'

International Blog Highlight

Our theme for this highlight is Change of Life Circumstances.
Retiring, new baby, new home, New job, leaving a job, Wedding.... any change in life event.

I am choosing to showcase a very special wedding card I created for my sister.  We (all but my oldest son) travelled to New Brunswick to see her get married last month and I have yet to share the card I made.  I thought this was the perfect opportunity to share it.  I just love the way it turned out.  Here is my card...

I kept the colours very simple - Whisper White cardstock and Basic Grey Ink.  I started with a Whipser White cardbase and then cut a layer 4 x 5 1/4.  I cut a circle out for the greeting to show through.  I wanted lots of texture, so then I dry embossed using the Softly Falling Embossing folder.

Before I added the layer to the card base, I placed the layer on top of the cardbase and then stamped my greeting through the cut out .  then, I die cut both flower flourishes from the Florish Thinlits to help frame the greeting.  I added some basic pearls to parts of the flourish and a Basic Grey bow to the stem of the flourish.  I popped this layer up using dimensionals.

Finally, if I may, share a picture of my beautiful sister on her wedding day with my 2 younger boys.  I just LOVE this picture!  They look so handsome all dressed up.

I hope you enjoyed my card and decide to come back and visit.  If you live in Canada you can shop with me, I would love to help!
