The Power of Suggestion: Blushing Bride

I wanted to enter Dynamic Duos Challenge #65 today and the two colours are Pistachio Pudding and Blushing Bride.

Okay, be honest:  When you look at the names of those two colours, what's the first kind of card you think of making?  Did you say a wedding or anniversary card?  Well, it's certainly the first thing that popped into my mind.  The power of suggestion is very strong for me.  I won't be at all hungry, but if you say "ice cream" or "brownie", all of a sudden, I will be ravenous and only those foods will do!  A cracker just won't cut it!  Don't ever let me go on stage with a hypnotist!

Anyway, here's what the power of suggestion caused me to make:

These are very pretty, but subdued colours and they are suitable for a wedding card, I think.

• The sentiment is the single stamp set Mr. and Mrs, and the rose is from Papaya Collage.
• The Pistachio Pudding DSP is from the Venetian Romance Design Series Papers.
• I die cut a Deco Label using the Deco Label Collection Framelits, having already stamped the rose.  I then used the Designer Frames Oval Embossing folder to create the texture. 

• The edge of the DSP is die cut using the Eyelet Finishing Touches Edgelit. Then I added strings of Pearl Basic Jewels.  I originally tried Rhinestones, but they were too much "over the top" for this quiet, subdued card.
• The Blushing Bride 3/4" Chevron Ribbon works well with this card design!

And that's all there is to it!  Now I have a few more cards to design.  Don't say anything to me, because it could affect the outcome - with my tendency to be unduly influenced by what I see and hear!  But first, I need a snack!  Hmmm!  Maybe ice cream?  Or a brownie?  Or both!  Back tomorrow with another challenge!
