Pretty In Pink Wedding Card

Hello and happy November! The year is certainly flying by. Well, instead of a summer wedding, I just attended the Autumn wedding of a couple who are like my own children. It was beautiful and I am so happy for them. I made this card for their happy day, and thought I'd share it, as it's loaded with Ranger and Tim Holtz goodies. Hope you enjoy.
Onto the craft sheet, I dabbed on Picket Fence, Antique Linen, and Brushed Pewter Distress Paints, misted with water, and dredged watercolor cardstock through. Then I dried it.
I stamped the Love definition over and over the cardstock with Hickory Smoke Distress Archival Ink.
I added Worn Lipstick and Victorian Velvet Distress Paints on the craft sheet, added water, mixed them a little, and then swiped only the top edge of the cardstock in, and let the paint run down. I let it dry.
Onto a heavystock tag, I dredged the same pink mixture from the last step, onto the tag, and let it dry.
I stamped the doily images onto Plain Tissue wrap with Antique Linen Distress Paint, several times while overlapping. I let it dry.
I stamped the bride onto heavystock and on the doily images with Jet Black Archival. I cut them both out, and adhered the tissue bride onto the cardstock bride, with Multi Matte. Now her dress is laced.
I painted in the rest of bride with Distress Paint and a detailed waterbrush.
Taking the dried pink tag, I die cut the roses, and rolled them up, and made leaves from dark green cardstock.
I adhered crinoline and then roses on top of that. To finished I mounted the card on Metallic cardstock, and added the sentiment.
 
 
 
I'll be back soon! Until then, love the ones you have deeply!!!

New Holiday Collection Stamps - October

Hello again this week. I'm back to show you my new Holiday Collection Stamp Sets, and a closer look at the October set. My stamps are produced by WeCraft, and I can't say enough wonderful things about this company...they believe in me, and that means the world.   Every month, I hope to show you that month's set as well as samples. They are available on WeCraft and The Crafty Scrapper here in Texas will be carrying them too, and they retail for $14.99. The whole sheet is 4x8 inches, and acrylic. These are great for card makers, planner enthusiasts, mini art journalers, and scrapbookers, as the images are small.  There is a colored acetate overlay that they cling to, which gives you an idea of what they will look like with color...I love that aspect. 
Again, a huge thank you for all the comments on Facebook. I so appreciate the support, and can't believe it has actually happened. It's been a long time in the working, and I'm so super excited, especially by all the kind words about them.
All Six Sets
October - 9 Images
 
 

The samples are very basic...paper from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Kraft Stash Halloween, Jet Black Archival, various Distress Ink, and ribbon from my stash. I wanted to keep it simple, plus while traveling I didn't have much to work with. I hope this gives you an idea about them. Again, huge thanks everyone...phew!!!
