All soft and white

I've been meaning to make a card like this for awhile - all soft and creams/whites.

The background mat is a gold shimmer cardstock, and it's impressed with In Bloom folder.  The doily was cut out of vellum.  The background stamp with roses is from Impression Obsession.   Lots of distress ink for the edges.

This is my first time using Tiny Tags - eek, so cute and fun! 

Supplies; Stamps; Background roses, Tiny Tags, Paper - vellum, cream, shimmer, Other; Parisian doily die, Tiny Tags die, In Bloom impression plate, Antique linen distress ink, cream satin ribbon, 1/8'' silk ribbon.

Winter wedding

It was a bit hectic as the wedding was on Dec 27th, but I had stamped a damask background on shimmery paper a long time ago (like, in the spring), so it came together quickly.  I love, love, love the Damask designs stamp set!!

The card is a large one - a 11 x 8.5'' paper folded in two.  Lots of room for wishes.  I die cut the mat stack on vellum paper, and stamped a text background in white, followed by the greeting in black/versamark and heat embossed it. 

Here's a photo of the shimmery background.

Supplies - Stamps; Damask designs, Giga guidelines, BB: Text;  Paper - Fine linen, black, silver shimmer, vellum; Ink - Black, white, versamark; Other - Mat stack 4 die, cream satin ribbon.

Pink and Vellum and Layers

A try at a more layered card.  I have such a hard time layering patterns and shapes.  I can't help it, my mind cannot derail from clean and simple on most days.

This is a 4 1/2'' square card.  The flowers were cut out from a piece of vellum that I stamped with versamark and heat embossed with clear powder for a little more texture.

I wanted to make a soft card, but decided it needed some darker accent so it wouldn't get too washed out. 

Supplies; Stamps - Background Basics: Polka Dot Basics 2 and Fancy Flourishes (PTI), Paper - Scarlet Jewel, vellum, cream (PTI) and PP (?), Ink - Sweet Blush (PTI), versamark, Other - Nestabilities Label 1 die, Beautiful Blooms #3 die and Fillable Frames #1 die (PTI), scarlet jewel buttons (PTI), 1/8 '' silk ribbon (PTI).

September PTI blog hop

The technique that I learned that I am using, is to use a strip of vellum across the front of the card.  It is such a 'light' material that doesn't take away from the other elements on the card (like the gorgeous impression plate), but also anchors the butterfly, and provides a good place for a sentiment. 

Supplies: stamps - Everyday Button Bits (PTI), paper - sweet blush, vellum (PTI), DSP (SU), ink - Tuxedo black stamped off once (Memento), other  - In Bloom impression plate (PTI), Beautiful Butterflies die (SU), 1/4'' silk ribbon (PTI).
