Love & Cherish

This week at Crafty Sentiments, the challenge is anything goes.  The team used the image Love & Cherish for our projects this week.

I colored the image with Copic markers and fussy cut it.  I didn't like the white background on the white die, so I hand cut an oval to add a thin teal border to the image.  The background paper has a pretty pearl sheen.  There is a little clear Wink of Stella on her head piece and her shoes.  Every bride should sparkle!

You have a chance to win some great Crafty Sentiment images for playing along.

Hope to see you there!

Forever

Welcome back to my Rubbernecker Stamps feature for this week.  I am featuring one of the new clear stamp sets. 

I used the Wedding stamp set and colored the stamps with Copic markers.  I stamped the dress first and then masked it using a sticky note then stamped the tuxedo.  I used teal accents because that was the color of the dresses in my wedding. =)  I cut the image out using the Nested Oval Small Stitch Dies but there is a matching die set so you could use that as well.  The stitched oval was then matted with a Nested Scallop Oval die cut from some gorgeous gold paper.  The sentiment is from the Best Friends Etc set and was stamped with gold ink.

Dream

This week at the Crafty Gals Corner, our challenge is anything goes.  We want to see your projects no matter what they are!

I used Dream Dress by SheepSki Designs for this card.  There were so many gorgeous folds and pleats in this dress!  It was a fun challenge to color.  I used Copic markers and cut out the image using the Silhouette Cameo.  The die was cut from some gorgeous glitter card stock and you can just see the shimmer in the picture.

Tying the Knot at Polka Doodles

The current challenge at Polka Doodles is to create a project with a wedding theme in mind.  I made this card for a co-worker.  The picure isn't very good, because I had to take it in a hurry.  But hopefully you get the idea.

I cut the dress from the Cricut Wedding Solutions cartridge.  It had sleeves, but I decided I would leave them off.  I used tacky tape on the bodice and added micro beads.  The top layer of the dress was made from an embossed paper and I added micro beads to the embossed pattern using Crystal Lacquer.  The background is a beautiful embossed vellum that I have had for ages and I used a cream and gold ribbon on each side to frame the dress.  The flowers are actually table confetti that have been dressed up with some gold brads.  They actually have a wonderfuly pearly sheen to them.
