I love this Timeless Elegance designer series paper. It is just so gorgeous. You could colour the paper with a dauber and ink for more impact but I choose to keep it simple and elegant and use it right out of the package for this wedding card.
Lengths of Venetian Crochet Trim and Basic Black Stitched Satin Ribbon were layered and tied on to the bottom third of the card.
The “congrats to you” greeting is from the Tin of Cards stamp set which I am using a lot right now. The image was stamped in black ink onto Very Vanilla card stock and then layered onto Basic Black card stock to really stand out.
Lastly, I added three black sequin hearts from the Metallics Sequin Assortment. Each heart has an added tiny pearl from the Pearl Basic Jewel Embellishments.
Definitely a quick to create card since the beautiful paper is the focus of the card.

This was such a simple card to make. As I was putting the hexagons in place, Liam walked through my office and asked if I was doing a puzzle. And I guess I was.
To make the background, I used the Hexagon Hive Thinlit four times – once each in Smoky Slate, Pink Pirouette, Blackberry Bliss and Rose Red. Be sure to save the pieces so you can create a card in each colour.
The “hello” greeting from the A Dozen Thoughts stamp set was stamped in Smoky Slate ink and the fishtail ends were made with the Triple Banner punch.
A butterfly was made by layering the Bitty Butterfly punched piece over the Elegant Butterfly punched piece to complete the card.

Wild About Flowers was the very first set I added to my new catalogue wish list. I love silhouette images and I think this stamp set is really versatile.
The first thing I did to make this card was create the watercolor background as I knew it would need drying time. I used a Spritzer to wet down the Watercolor Paper really well and then applied layers of ink with an Aqua Painter. From to bottom, I used Soft Sky, Pink Pirouette, Wisteria Wonder and Pear Pizzazz.
Once dry, I stamped the images onto the watercolor paper with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I also stamped the greeting and another image onto Whisper White card stock. I decided the greeting would work best on a narrow strip of paper. I cut out the flower image with an Ovals Collection Framelits Die and added a slightly larger oval behind in Basic Black card stock to help accentuate the stamped image.
After adhering the card layers together, I added four small Rhinestones to the Whisper White piece.

Gold accents on a card seem to make it extra special, don’t you think? It doesn’t really take any longer to make the card but there is just something about the shine and richness created using a metallic like gold.
For this card I decided to use another new stamp set, Birthday Blossoms and the coordinating Pansy Punch. I stamped the greeting and background flower with VersaMark ink and then heat embossed with gold embossing powder. The flower was also stamped and heat embossed on a gold foil sheet.
The middle layer of the card is also a gold foil sheet sandwiched between a Basic Black card stock layer and card. Since I wanted a bit more of the gold foil to show I cut the top black layer to 3-5/8″ x 4-7/8″.
The flower was adhered to the card over top a looped length of Gold Metallic Thread. The center of the flower is a White Perfect Accent coloured with a black Sharpie marker.
This is definitely one of those cards that looks better in person. There is bit of glare from the gold foil in the photo. Trust me, I’m really happy with this finished card and the way the black and gold went together.

Summer this year has been busy, busy, busy! It’s been so hard to find time to stamp. I did order some new favorites from the catalog and cleaned my office top to bottom so I am ready to get back to creating.
On of my new favorites is this background stamp, Definitely Dahlia. You know I love big images because they do all the work.
After stamping the flower twice – once as the background and a second time as a piece I cut to 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ – most of the work was done. I layered each image onto Gold Foil and Watermelon Wonder card stock and added a greeting from Tin of Cards.
I distressed the edge of the larger piece of Whisper White card stock a bit with scissors just to show off the gold foil a bit better.
To finish the card, I added three White Perfect Accents colored with a gold sharpie marker.

I wanted to share another Watercolor Wings card this time with Watermelon Wonder. Oh, my that’s a lot of Ws!
I made a tag for the card with the new corrugated paper in kraft and the Chalk Talk framelit. The package also includes white corrugated paper.
The Watermelon Wonder dotted lace trim was folded in half and knotted loosley before adhering to the tag. The same ribbon and kraft corrugated paper was used to make the border across the top of the card.
The butterfly was stamped in Pink Pirouette, Tip Top Taupe and Watermelon Wonder. I really like this color combination but I’m not sure you can go wrong with any combination of colors using the layered images in this set.
