Wedding card

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card with almost no story to tell. I have used this stamp over and over again and seem to love it more and more with the passage of time. The flowers came as a long ribbon and I cut them carefully so that the joints were totally invisible. Embossing, stamping, flowers and a couple of pearls on the flower centres and my card was ready.



I will enter this card in the following challenges:

Happy Birthday

Hello dear bloggers,

This card was made with a stamp I bought a very sweet little scrapbooking store in Shrewsbury in the UK many years ago. It can be quite challenging to stamp all of it in one go for some reason. The good side is that if it does do a good job, the entire card is ready in no time. 
I have used a Brilliance blue pearlised ink and have gone over the hibiscus flowers with glossy accents. 
A Sakura silver gel pens were used on a few 'happy birthdays' for added effect as was the blue ribbon. It looks far more sparkly in real life.

It is old fashioned but pleasing to the eyes with the monochromes.




I will participate in the following challenges:
