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!
