It's June, and that means weddings... I made this card for a wedding we will be attending in a few weeks. The colors on the card are the same colors in the wedding, they are so soft and pastel. I originally stamped the image with black ink, and it looked OK, but I decided to go with silver embossing powder for a much softer look. I colored the image using TomBow Markers, and soften them with a paint brush and water for a watercolor look. I truly love the sentiment.. It's perfect.
The card is 4 1/4 x 9 1/4 in size, because the image is quite large. I used May Arts white sheer ribbon for a couple of reasons. When I tried a solid ribbon, it covered a lot of the image and sentiment, and I couldn't make the card any bigger so I went with the sheer ribbon because you can see the images underneath.
I'm working on a few more cards I hope to have posted this weekend. Also, I'm going to be playing around and making some test video the next few days. I haven't made one with the new software, and computer so I'm sure more error's ahead LOL...
EDIT ADDED: I added the links to the stamps below.. Sorry, my bad ;)
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend - Linda ;)

As usual, Linda, very soft and elegant. Love the sentiment and the bells. Couldn't be prettier. Everything about it is perfect!

Beautiful card. We are going to a wedding in early August and if I hadn't already made the card, I would have surely made this one.

Linda, went to Heartfelt Creations and could not find the bells. Is it an old stamp? Thanks. Beautiful card!
