Challenge -- Fab Friday #39

It has been awhile since I did a challenge.  I choose "Fab Friday" because I like sketch challenges and I really liked the inspiring examples they have.
I still struggled with it, as always.  I tried a couple of different themes and colour combos but in the end I went with simple neutrals.  It is a little rugged for a wedding card but it is still elegant.  I hope you like it.

I used Very Vanilla, and Crumb Cake card stock, burlap ribbon and satin vanilla ribbon (retired), champagne glimmer paper, and Soft Suede ink.

Wedded Bliss and a Little Paradise!

This weekend we are in Vernon celebrating a wonderful couple, Shannon and Marco.   Shannon is a close friend of the family and my oldest daughter got to be the flower girl in her wedding!  We have been very excited to share this day with them and in preparation I created a card for their wedding that I hope Shannon will love!   Her favourite flower is the Bird of Paradise and she has based her wedding colours on this flower.  So I searched the web for a punch art flower that would look great on her card!  I found one flower made by a wonderful crafty lady in Oahu Hawaii and I just had to CASE it.   Check out the original blog by Brenda at Sweet as a Gumdrop .

If you go to Brenda's Blog you will see how she made the flowers using the Bird Builder Punch. I added the leaves at the bottom using the Blossom Builder Punch. 

The Colours are Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Concord Crush (retired).  I used the Framed Tulip Embossing Folder around the edge, added some pearls for accents and a stamp from an old retired stamp set called "Happily Ever After"

I love how this turned out and I hope Shannon and Marco love it just as much. 

 

Thanks for looking!
