Hi Stampers :
Happy Monday Friends !
Here is the card I made for Samantha's wedding shower this past Saturday . I have made a few of these over the yrs & Every time I make one I love it .
It seems it gets easier every time~ well at least this time, cause I used the 1 3/4" Scallop circle punch #119854 for her flower bouquet ( instead of Cutting it out by hand ).Then used the 1/16th handheld punch # 101227 to punch tiny holes into each of the scallops .
The heart for her bust line I used the Scallop Heart of Hearts embosslit # 117332. ( I just had to trim the sides of her upper body down a wee bit to have it fit better.)
Sam's wedding colors are Chocolate and Teal But since we no longer have a "Teal " colored card stock ...I used Marina Mist#119682 and I used the Early Espresso card stock #119686 LOVE IT!
I must admit I really tried to use the Blushing Bride card stock for the Brides skin tone BUT It was way to pink especially next to the Espresso so I pulled out the retired Blush Blossom card stock ( I really really wish SU! would bring back that card stock color Boo Hoo)
For the flowers I used the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch pack # 118309.
I used the Basic Pearls#119247 for her Neckless and the greeting on the front is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set # 115370.
Then to add some shimmer I sprayed it with the Champagne Mist # 116806 shimmer paint with Rubbing Alcohol .
You can view the one I made for my Cousin Sarahs Bridal Shower in 2007 and you can also get the template for this bride from my Friend Jan HERE
Thanks Jan!
Until later.. Happy Stampin!
Adorable!!!
