I had time to complete this week's sketch challenge over at 2 sketches 4 you. This is a fantastic blog and I'm finding it really inspiring.
This week's sketch was so pretty, I thought it would make a great wedding/bridal card. This is what I came up with
The card started out as being 8" x 4" (and fits into a standard DL envelope), however, I found it to be a bit too tall for what I wanted, so I trimmed a little off the top and it's now 6-5/8 x 4. I'm really enjoying making these non standard size cards. The base is Very Vanilla and the patterned paper is from Spring Silhouettes. The frame is from Frames with a Flourish and the sentiment (which reads now & forever) is from Occasional Greetings. I used my Chocolate Chip marker to dot around the scallops to tie in with the frame and some Chocolate Chip 5/8" Grosgrain ribbon. The blue pearls are from KaiserCraft (Bliss). I really love how this turned out!
Hope you're all having a great weekend, thanks for looking!
Supplies:
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Spring Silhouettes DSP, Stamps: Frames with a Flourish, Occassional Greetings, Ink: Chocolate Chip, Soft Sky, Chocolate Chip Marker, Accessories: Corner Rounder, Chocolate Chip 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, KaiserCraft Pearls (in Bliss) and Dimensionals
