I didn't intend for flowers and pearls on but you know me, I have to fill all the corners lol so out came the Basic Grey brads instead of the pearls, some hydrangeas and the glimmer mists for the flowers. Not sure on the ribbon but the card was too stark without it. I used that FAB!!!!! Martha Stewart flourish punch for the bottom of the card again, and also punched along the black piece to carry the flourish through. How brill is this punch!!! And to think when it arrived in my DT kit I hadn't a clue what to do with it and thought it was going to be consigned to a drawer never to see the light of day - wrong! I love it!!
Oh I forgot to say I'm entering this card in the Creative Card Crew's challenge which is weddings.
Recipe:
Stamp: Whiff of Joy Oakley as Groom
Paper: Kaiser from The Hobby House
Tools: Martha Stewart Flourish border punch (The Hobby House)
Embellies: Basic Grey Boxer brads, gold spacer and hydrangeas (zapped with glimmer mists) all from The Hobby House
Thanks for stopping by,

Fantastic card Bev, the colours and papers are stunning :) I've got the MS flourish punch but have't succeeded in punching a border any where near as perfect as yours :) Donna x
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic, Bev. I have been looking for découpage papers depicting only a groom 'cos I have 3 cards to do for a son but can't find any. I wish I had the confidence to colour a stamped image as you do.I must really give it a try. I just love the black and cream colourway
