When I opened my invitation I immediately noticed the similarity of the stylish design on the invitation to one of my favourite IndigoBlu heart shaped stamps, of course, I immediately knew what my card was going to look like.
But sometimes what you have in mind does not quite come off when you start to put it together, this was my first attempt at a card, it seemed incomplete so back to the drawing board.

I was so much happier with mark II.
As the brides colour theme was navy blue and silver, I stamped the heart using Midnight Muse ink and mounted it on silver mirri and Midnight Muse card. As you can see, I then mounted it on white card, leaving enough space along two sides to wrap navy blue organza ribbon around the card twice and add a double bow in the same ribbon.
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I started with an all navy spray but it was too dark and in the end I chose all white blossoms with just one dark blue flower for accent.
I added several pearl headed hat pins to the spray and a few very small roses. I also decided that the sentiment spoilt the balance and it had to go.

This is so pretty and beautifully done. That stamp looks fabulous in blue and I love the layers and ribbon. That stunning cascade of flowers is the icing on the cake. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, it is a fabulous stamp to work with and how can you go wrong with WOC roses.

Love that heart stamp, so intricate and romantic! The first version looked great until I scrolled down and saw your upgrades...wow, the flowers change the whole look of the card! Great job Dionne, this is just gorgeous! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Pamellia, this is my sort of card and with hindsight I do not know why I did not go with the flowers from the outset, but sometimes I guess we have to try something different to find out it doesn't work!
