A Wedding Thank You

Today is a BIG day! I will be getting my Holiday catalogue pre-order today! The Holiday Catalogue is AMAZING and I can't wait to start creating and sharing some of the great new products coming out! But lets get on with the card!

My little sister - Catherine - is getting married and I will be making the Save the Dates, wedding invites and thank you cards - don't worry I will be posting about this adventure while it is under way. Cath and I are still hashing out details with the invites but she has chosen this style for her thank you cards, so I have started to make them up for her. Don't they look so elegant? The colours she has chosen are similar to Elegant Eggplant and Bermuda Bay so half of everything will be in those two colours. This card was actually quite quick to put together. I ran the Elegant Eggplant through the Big Shot with the swirls envelop (which isn't stampin up I am afraid but we all have items in our craft rooms from different places right?) cut them into the flags then added the white and black strip a quick stamp and it was done.

Quick tip: I used my hexagon punch to make the flags! This way I would insure that they were all even and looked the same - I will be sure to post pictures of how you do that in the next few days - once I have the hubby home to hold the camera while I am doing it lol!

Dee-Litefully Yours,
Diana

Sample Wedding Invites

Here is the same technique as yesterday but with two different colours. My little sis is getting married and I am going to be making their wedding invitations (aren't I a good big sister?) This is the style of invite that I am working on for them and the green and purple are their wedding colours. These are the proto types for them to look at and agonize over (as we all do for our weddings) The green powder has sparkles in it and I find that the definition in the flower isn't as pronounced.  The black on black adds a very sophisticated look to the card.  The purple on the other hand once again lets the flower really pop! I am still working on finding the perfect ribbon to go with these colours - so if you see something let me know!

 

I am going to have to do tone-on-tone stamping again because I like the subtle look it creates and how it doesn't distract from the rest of the card.

 

Gotta go and get the boys ready for bed. So until tomorrow.

 

Dee-vinely happy with these results
