Weddings Around the Corner Maybe?

Today you are receiving an extra post as I have discovered this delightful challenge at Stamp Ink Paper that must be posted by Sunday evening.  I am discovering how much fun it is to do these challenges.  The great thing by me doing these challenges it is a win win for you.   You get more design ideas from me and others.

SIP Challenge 41 Weddings 800

So for this challenge I choose to create two cards.  One is simply elegant in pink and the other in gold.  Now stop and think.  If you know the wedding colors you can change the first card’s colors to coordinate with the couple’s colors.  The second card is done in gold which would work for a fiftieth  wedding anniversary card.  Just change the center to Happy Anniversary.  I suppose you could leave it the way it is and add the anniversary sentiment inside.

Tips

The Stampin’ Up! stamp sets are Everything Eleanor, Papillion Potpourri, and For the New Two.

Everything Eleanor                                                                 Papillion Butterfly

 

For the New Two

Embellishments:  A touch of pearls on one and ribbon on the other gives that elegant feel.

Color Combinations:  I feel pink and gray which gives the silver effect brings an elegance to the wedding card.  The gold is always a good choice for wedding or anniversary.

Stamp Sets:  Everything Eleanor, Papillion Potpourri, Happy Happenings, For the New Two

Ink:   Blushing Bride, Smoky Slate

Paper: Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Winter Wonderland (gold stripe), Gold Foil Sheet

Accessories:  Basic Pearls, Elegant Butterfly punch, Gold Ribbon, Deco Labels, dimensional,  gold embossing powder, Lovely Lace Embossing Folder
