Wedding Cake

Posted on May 19, 2014 11:24 PM by Julie 2 Comments

Best of 2014!
The Color Challenge on Splitcoast (CC479), is a wonderful combination! Love these colors and I think they worked out super for the all the lilies on my wedding cake. And since my card is all about cake, I went for the dessert option of putting the greeting on the card front. Everyone loves wedding cake!

This card is pretty simple…only 1 layer on top of the card front. I stamped the Candle Corner and greeting directly on the top white panel and colored them. The cake was stamped on a separate piece along with several lilies. After coloring, I fussy cut the cake and a bunch of lilies and added them to the cake before attaching to my main panel. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you haven’t yet, please check out the DRS Thursday Challenge. You still have a couple of days to enter and this week we want to see either a graduation card or a card using your school colors. DRS images are not required so head on over!

June

Today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT478), is all about birthdays. We are to make a card representing our birth month, the flower, the gem…well, hmmmm. The flower for June is a rose. I’m not really a rose person so I don’t have many rose images. I know I have 3 (4 if you count the one I couldn’t find), but the prettiest one is so small I nearly went blind trying to color it. On to plan B. I remembered I had a set of the month names so I dug it out, stamped it & colored it. I thought it needed something, so I masked it & added the umbrella with a top one cut out & elevated.

I had to die cut it using my out of the box technique so I wouldn’t cut off the base umbrella. I added a few more die cut layers & also cut the card using the largest labels 28 die (I had to place the folded card w/ the fold just below the top cutting edge of the die). Since the other birthstone for June (besides the pearl) is the Alexandrite, I added some AB crystals which are pretty close, since they also change colors from pink to purple to green.

The finished card is just under 5.50 x 4.25 so it fits in an A2 envelope. These are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

To Have & To Hold

Posted on May 5, 2014 12:52 PM by Julie 1 Comment

Today’s Technique Challenge (TLC480) is to have the sentiment on top of the image. I chose to have mine on a vellum strip over the image. And for the Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS271), we are CASEing Angela Maine. I chose THIS wedding card of the same name. I kept the wedding card theme & oval, but used pink as an accent color & used a vertical orientation instead of horizontal.

This card is pretty easy because I already had the background done. It’s a Belleek technique from TLC361 where you use a light colored ink on your embossing folder before embossing. The happy couple was stamped on white and just a touch of pink was added to the flowers. The greeting was stamped on a strip of vellum & I used a bracket border die on the top & bottom edges. I added a couple of die cut frames, my vellum greeting & that was it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
