Tara's Bridal Shower!

We celebrated my niece Tara's bridal shower yesterday and this was the card that I made for her.

My sister sent me all of her inspiration photos and I did my best to incorporate her colors and flower theme as well as little personal touches like her love of cats and dogs.

LOVE is actually gold and not black as it appears. I decided on a first for me. I cut the cat and dog out of patterned paper instead of a colored cardstock or white cardstock that I colored, like I've done in the past. I really think they're cute this way.

On the inside I created a pocket to put her check in.

One of her wishes was to have a large ribbon hat so they asked guests to wrap with lots of bows. Since I was only doing a card/cash I created a fancy bow to attach to the envelope. The pink bow came from a yard sale the day before (score!) and then I added lots of curling ribbon in all of her fun colors.

Watercolor bouquet with bees from Art Impressions

 

Hello Ai fans!

These are some of my favorite things!

Bees, green, yellow, gingham, wood grain, metal...earrings!

My card was created for the Not Just Paper challenge.

I used twine, a metal heart and some rose gold metal "dots."

I tried some WATERCOLOR!

I started small with the new 5921 – Glass Containers Set and 5917 – Floral Bouquet Set.

The beautiful bees and vines are from 5925 – Honey Bee Set. I used Copic markers to color the die cut vines.

I also created a fun pair of earrings using the new 5918 – Floral Long Stem Bouquet Set stamped inside of 5726 – Nested Circle Dies.  I used Memento Ink Pad to stamp the image and then splattered them with Bleed Proof White paint.

Happy 16th...get out there and DRIVE!

Bees for Kay!

Hello Ai fans!

I'm sharing a card that I made to send to a coworker that I haven't seen in 

many years. She doesn't really have a favorite color, so I picked yellow because 

it's so cheery.

I used the brand new 5925 – Honey Bee Set.
There are coordinating dies to cut all of the little pieces out.

I stamped one of the verses in a heart from 5721 – Nested Heart Dies.

I used the Spellbinders Large Die of the Month, Tiara Trifold for the base.
