Wedding Wishes

The wedding season is upon us and it's time to get busy making cards. I have a friend who is getting married so she asked me to help her make cards to give to her friends to invite them to be bridesmaids. She's never made cards so she came over and we created the bridesmaid waterfall card together. We picked out matchmaker papers to match her fall wedding colors and layered them on the TAC brown cardstock and she did all the stamping and coloring. I think she did a fabulous job, don't you?


All of the cards for this post use Blissfully Ever After. It's a wonderful wedding set from TAC. I used Odorless Paint Thinner (similar to odorless mineral spirits) and Prismacolor pencils to color the images. A little bling on a button on a bitty blossom made the perfect finishing touch on the sparkle cardstock.

This third card is a small circle enclosure card. I made it for a challenge on Paper Wings which is a TAC site. The gallery is open to the public so it's a great way to get ideas for your favorite TAC stamps. It's easy to make a circle card with the coluzzle and the mega scalloped circle punch. Cute, fast and fun!.

Have fun making cards for your upcoming weddings! Happy Stamping!

These are all pretty, simply elegant. I am sure the waterfall card was extra work though. I have never tried my hand at those, but I love to see them. lol, Donelda is funny. That would be cute though. :) Kel
