Love is in the Air - An Engagement Card


My friends daughter recently become engaged to her beau of many years. We have been holding our breath waiting for this announcement and finally it has happened. I am delighted for this lovely couple and knew it was only a matter of time.

For this card I have used Whisper White and Elegant Eggplant cardstock. The hearts are from the Always stamp set which I masked to create the two together. I coloured them with Elegant Eggplant and Lavender Lace Markers. The sentiment is from Warmest Regards and coloured in Elegant Eggplant. To add some bling and prettiness, I used rhinestone brads (ice circles) and half pearls from the pretties kit. The ribbon is from my own stash.

Yeah, time to create!


Wow, I have finally had time and the energy to sit down and create some cards. This one was made for my cousins birthday.

I really wanted to use the Ginger Blossom paper (summer mini) so that was my original inspiration for this card. I have used Ruby Red and Whisper White cardstock, Ruby Red stamp pad, White taffeta ribbon, scallop edge punch, jumbo eyelet, rhinestone brad, stampindimensionals and flowers from my own stash.

A quick card to make. I wanted the focus to be on the DSP as I love the colours. Thus I haven't added to much onto the card.
