Cake in Tiers and Joy to the World Snowman

Tuesday Morning Sketches has a long sketch for challenge 545.  I made two different samples. The first is a wedding card with a stamp from Tiddly Inks which is now only on FaceBook and the sentiment is from TLC, Create.  It's an image that I had colored quite sometime ago and was waiting to be put together. I added some Stickles to add some sparkle.
The second card is using a die from Spellbinder that I put together to make the snowman and a separate one for the background. I added a ribbon and some poinsettias.

For My Flower Girl

I just love this Mo Manning image and couldn't help making this card. I made it as an easel card. I used several Distress Inks to create the splattered look of the background paper.  I have been enjoying doing this to match the colors.  The sentiment is in the inside and is also from Mo Manning.

Happy Wedding Day

I haven't done the Card Concept Challenge in quite some time, but this one really intrigued me.  Paulette at TLC get put out some charcoal papers so I used one for  this card as well as the sentiment.  The sentiment I crumpled and distressed with ink.  For the heart I did a Spellbinder die and dry embossed it and then rubbed it with a copper ink.  I used Core-dinations papers so when I embossed them I also sanded them to pop out the color underneath and distressed the edges.

Social media has been the way that many people find to do most of their communicating these days.  I was shocked that one of my good friends got married this past weekend and I just saw her before Christmas.  I will be seeing her tonight so I made this card for her and will be excited to find out the details.  I was surprised to see it on Facebook.
For the card, I made a Z box fold card using an image from Imagine That Digistamp called Impossible Hearts and the paper is from that set as well.  The sentiment is from TLC.

Here is a wedding card that I made using the newest set from Verve.  The set is Love Everlasting and has such beautiful sentiments.  I added a cloth spin and some pearls.  I didn't want to add too many embellishments so that I could get it in the envelope.
