for the beautiful bride (Avery Elle)

Hi there!

My cousin's July wedding is fast approaching and we attended his fiancé's bridal shower last weekend. I had so much fun creating a special card for her using Avery Elle stamps and dies:

I colored the pretty lady from Love Birds to match the bride's coloring and framed her using the new Horizontal Stripes cover-plate. I love it for making no-brainer card layouts! Sometimes coming up with the design is the longest part of card-making, right?



I did not have a sentiment that spelled out Happy Bridal Shower, but I had almost all of it. For the rest, I improvised.

I grabbed the BRID, from "bride and groom" and the AL from "all my love" (both, from Banner & Wreath) to create the word BRIDAL. It was actually really easy to fit them together! I think the scripty font was extra forgiving.

The words Happy and Shower were taken from another stamp set, Special Delivery.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

♥.

love birds (with Avery Elle)

Hi there!

This is my second post of the day. Scroll down or click HERE to see something more holiday festive.

I'm on the Avery Elle blog this morning with this friendship card:

The set is called Love Birds and it was designed by my friend JJ Bolton. Hands down, it is my favorite of their current release. So quirky and delicate and gorgeous.

I colored the girl and used the square floral wreath to frame her out. I used the birds to link her to the sentiment banner and give a flow to the whole composition.

The background was sponged with purple and pink distress inks that fade to white.



I hope you like this little lady as much as I do!

♥.
