Cousin Pati needs a card for a couple getting married on Halloween. The invitation was very unique and had a purple background.
I used that as my inspiration here.
Supplies: Paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, Strathmore Bristol, inks – Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Inks Chipped Sapphire, Seedless Preserves, Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet, die – Taylored Expressions.
Someone in my husband’s family is getting married next week.
I based my color and design choices on the invitation we received. (I looked it up online – the design is available from VistaPrint.)
I used the navy, the floral theme (I don’t have roses), and the oval shape.
Stamping on dark cardstock is a lot of work! Each flower or leaf was stamped first in white, then in at least one layer of color. I would not have been able to do this without my MISTI for repeat stamping.
Supplies: Stamps – Hero Arts, Inky Antics, Paper Salon, paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy, Stardream Metallics Copper, inks – Copic RV11, Hero Arts Unicorn, Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Inks Fired Brick, Mowed Lawn, Picked Raspberry, Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Oxide Ink – Picked Raspberry, VersaFine Onyx Black, dies – Simon Says Stamp (rectangle), Spellbinders (ovals), embossing powder – Stampendous Detail clear.
I wanted a blended background behind this die, and I found a “night sky” in my completed pieces folder.

Has any company come out with a “Mr. and Mr”. stamp? Or a “Mrs. and Mrs.” stamp? I have to make a few “wedding wishes” cards for my basket, so I have an option for any couple.
Supplies: Stamp – Stampin’ Up!, paper – Curious Metallics Blueprint, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, ink – VersaFine Clair Twilight, dies – Spellbinders, embossing folder – Provo Craft, embossing powder – Filigree Fine Art Powder clear.
I stamped the flowers and foliage onto Bristol paper, then watercolored with ZIG Clean Color pens and an aqua brush. I die cut them, and applied them over the sentiment panel.
