It’s been such a long time since I’ve posted here but the new year is a great time to start afresh! A friend recently asked me to make her bridesmaid-request cards and we had fun sharing inspirational ideas from Pinterest! She wanted each card to be personalized so I created the wording on the computer then printed each one out. I created three designs for her to choose from! The first card was made with the main image from Simon Says Stamp’s Beautiful Flowers. I inked up the stamp with Stampin Up’s Not Quite Navy and stamped it on the top and bottom of a panel of white card stock then created a watercolor effect with a damp paintbrush. A white card base kept the overall design sweet and simple!For her next option, I used a new set from Stampendous called Wild Rose Cling and it’s simple spray of blossoms was stamped with black ink onto two corners of my panel. I colored the wild roses with Copics, making the leaves two shades of blue and finally, added a dotted background with a gray Copic marker after outlining the overall design with the same gray marker. I mounted this to a base of navy card stock which made the white really pop!The third and last choice was created using Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Flowers again, but this time I created a border at the top and bottom of the card using permanent black ink, then colored with Copic markers, trying to feature reds, pinks and a hint of blue. I added a layer of navy behind the colored panel then mounted that to a white base card,This is the final card made for her matron of honor and three bridesmaids; I added more red and a hint of red/orange ink to the blossoms to deepen the colors and then outlined the images with a gray marker to ground the design.The two junior bridesmaids will receive this card in the mail, asking them to join the wedding party; I’m not sure how old the girls are but I think they’ll feel very special to be asked to participate and also to get their own personalized request card! I enjoyed spending time just coloring and creating in my stamp room to fill this order and hope to share more cards with you soon! Thanks for visiting!
