It's a new week and I am posting kind of late this morning - so I'll keep this short!
When I saw the great sketch Karen has this week at the Sweetest Sunday Sketch Challenge, I decided right away to pull out the never-inked-yet-set called Raining Flowers that we received at convention. It has 13 stamps for two step stamping of gorgeous flowers and leaves that are textured.
I snipped and popped up both flowers and stamped the leaves behind them with the image from the Best Friends Forever set. Doesn't this regal color combo from the challenge at The Paper Players make an elegant wedding card?
The elegance of pearls adorns the punched scalloped trim, and I used glitter brads for a bit more bling.
I love the Petite Pairs stamp set! It has sentiments in twos that you can use as suggested or mix up to make your own combinations. The inside sentiment reads, "Best Wishes."
And that ends my post for today. See you tomorrow!
