Stampin' Up! Floral Phrases Tropical Escape Engagement Card

With the beauty of scheduled posts, I still have regular posts coming to you on my blog while I am away in Orlando, Florida at Stampin' Up! On Stage Live.
Isn't the blushing bride designer series paper from the tropical escape designer series paper stack amazing? I really like it as a subtle background for this silhouette engagement card.

Stampin' Up! 40th Wedding Anniversary Card

I had the pleasure this month, of making a 40th wedding anniversary card. While making it, I rummaged around my house praying that a kid still had some gold-ish Easter egg foil left laying around. Not only did we have some left but I even found that some of the kids still have chocolate left from Easter!

Wedding card

Earlier this month I flew to India for a wedding. A 3 day feast of celebrations, dancing and festivities and lots and lots of food. Here's a mini snap shot of the wedding day.

Posing for wedding photos

Marking the bride with sindoor (as a sign she is married and commitment of long life and well being to her husband), called a vermilion mark

Knowing we were giving the bride and groom cash, I came up with this card to celebrate their union.

Bloomin' Heart

Have you seen the stunning bloomin' heart thinlet die? It a fabulous new intricate die featured in the brand new occasions catalogue. It is simply gorgeous and measures 8.6cm x 8.9cm. A real stunning die cut perfect for a card front. When I attended the Stampin' Up! On Stage event in Melbourne in November last year we had a play with it along with the love blossoms designer series paper stack and the big shot die brush.
If you don't own a big shot die brush, it is a must have tool I tell you. It is fabulous for getting all the small bits out of die cut images using framelits easily and quickly. 
I used all those above products mentioned to make this elegant wedding card.
